What Just Happened?
Were you unsure about Christianity or even shut out God completely but have since seen millions of Christians
and children vanish from earth instantly? This is the prophesied rapture or "harpazo" and it's a biblical event
where God pulls His believers from the earth so He can pour out His wrath on the nations in order to bring the
Jews back to Him.
You've missed the bus, but that won't stop you from getting into heaven if you become a born again Christian and
follow Jesus' teachings from now on. However it will be an extremely dangerous period of time and Christians will
almost certainly be reported and killed for their faith by their friends, neighbors, governments and the antichrist.
But isn't eternal life in heaven with God worth dying for? The fact that the Rapture even happened should be
substantial evidence that there is a God and the Bible is true. You may have even heard about the rapture
previously but brushed it aside as a "tale of mythical proportions" or the "ranting of religious nuts".
With many hundreds of thousands to millions of people on earth instantly disappearing, absolute chaos would
have likely ensued across the entire planet as vehicles crash, planes fall from the sky, utilities break down, looting
ensues and there's utter chaos and panic everywhere as parents frantically look for their young children who are
missing. The lack of people to fulfil jobs will stall production. Transportation across the country will grind to a
halt, exacerbated by the array of crashed vehicles on the road. Some important leaders may also disappear, leaving
nations leaderless for a period of time. After unsavoury folk realize that millions are missing, looters may likely go
house to house in the chance they won't be occupied. Many evildoers and spiritualists will rejoice that the people
holding back the planet have been removed so they can continue to 'fix' the planet.
With the withdrawal of the born-again Christians from earth and consequentially the Holy Spirit who indwells
them, the world will get out of hand rapidly as there's no longer salt and light to be found. In the same way that
salt slows meat from going rancid, so too will the earth rot and decay faster through a vertical plummet into evil
and lawlessness worldwide.
The second the rapture happens, Satan will kick his final plan into motion in an attempt to deceive those on earth
who remain, to cover up the true reason of the disappearances. The last thing he wants is for the world to realize
this actually was the rapture and for people to turn back to God. This cover-up will most likely involve an 'Alien
Abduction' lie which is initiated by God but will also likely followed up by demons creating deceptive signs in the
sky which will eventually lead to the 'landing' of aliens. There’s more on this in the 'Post-Rapture' section below.
I'm writing this in 2018 and I know without a doubt that the rapture will happen at some point in the near future.
I don't have a crystal ball; I just put my faith in the word of God which has repeatedly proven itself with past and
future prophecies such as Israel returning to the land after nearly two thousand years. God is outside of space and
time and therefore He can see all points of time at once. The way He authenticates Himself to us is by
demonstrating abilities unique to Him, in this case writing the future in advance.
The fact that you've been left behind should wake you up to the fact that you aren't currently going to heaven if
you die or even when Jesus returns at His Second Coming. The good news is that you have slightly longer than 7
years from the rapture to commit your life to Him before His final return. However with the devastation to come
such as colossal hail, global earthquakes, blood waters and giant meteors, you may have much less time to live
than that.

What Just Happened?
This Guide will:
 Explain what just happened across the planet,
 Discuss where everyone went and why,
 Help demonstrate that there's a loving God in full control of the planet,
 Help you navigate through these tough times with wisdom and faith,
 Discuss Bible prophecy and fulfilment,
 Assist you on your path to become a Christian if you aren't already, and
 Equip you mentally and spiritually for the rampant evil and deception ahead.
It's not intended to help you survive the tribulation so much, but to help you fight the good fight until the
Lord calls you home.
I warn you about the coming King and the wrath of God because I am a watchman on the wall as per verse 6
below. If I see the destruction that's coming and don't warn others, God will require the blood of those people
from me. Turn from your wicked ways, repent from your sins, believing and accepting that Jesus died and rose
again on the third day. He loves you and provided a way for you to live through His sacrifice!
Ezekiel 33:3-6
When he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes
and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet,
but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save
his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the
people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is
taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
I recommend watching the first video on the page below before continuing this document. It will give you the
basics of what just happened across the globe and what's coming soon.

The Rapture
So what is the Rapture and what are the End Times?
The Rapture, otherwise known as "the Harpazo" is a Christian religious event in which the believers saved in Jesus
Christ and those younger than the accountable age vanish from earth instantly ("in the twinkling of an eye") to
meet Jesus in the air. Those who aren't saved and were left behind on earth will be subject to 7 years of the wrath
of God, known as the Tribulation period.
Following the instant disappearance of believers from earth, and consequently the standing aside by the 'restrainer'
(the Holy Spirit), there will be utter chaos in the world as people seek to recover from, and understand what
happened. If you're one of these people - you have found the answers to what's happening, along with the Bible
as your primary source of proof. Be warned that there will be a "lie" (2 Thessalonians 2:11) that is so powerful it
will deceive even the most intelligent individuals after the rapture. Many Christians believe that this lie will be an
alien abduction deception of some sort as it's the only other plausible reason that could explain the disappearances
from a secular and scientific viewpoint. However since the Bible isn't explicit on what this 'lie' is, keep other
options open.
Those who were raptured from earth will firstly meet Jesus in the air for an unknown period of time before going
to heaven. Don’t worry, your children, family members, friends and colleagues who were raptured are now
immortal, have perfect spiritual bodies and are rejoicing in the presence of the Lord – the safest place in the
universe. Right now you need to worry about yourself and whether you will be joining them when you die.
Immediately after the rapture, the antichrist (someone who puts themself in place of God) will begin their rise to
power, gaining notoriety and influence all over the world and solving its problems with ingenuity and force. Once
he has gained fame on the world stage he will make an existing covenant with Israel even stronger, allowing the
Jews to build the third temple in Jerusalem and recommencing worship again. This covenant initiates the 7 year
tribulation which is the period God pours out plagues on the planet in an attempt to bring His nation of Israel
and those who dwell on the earth back to Him. Three and a half years into this seven year covenant, the antichrist
sits on the throne in the newly built temple and declares himself to be god, initiating the second half of the
tribulation, known as 'The Great Tribulation'.
At this point, the antichrist will attempt to slaughter all Jews and newly converted Christians throughout the entire
globe and all those who refuse to take his 'mark' - The Mark of the Beast, which will be on or in someone's right
hand or forehead. The Bible says this mark (666) will need to be 'calculated' and won't be easily identifiable, but it
will be his number and not your own personal identification number. (Revelation 13:18) You CAN become saved
through Jesus after the rapture happens, but your life will be much tougher with the antichrist hunting down all
those who oppose him.
During this tumultuous 7 years, God will be pouring out His just judgements on this increasingly sinful world
which will cause utter devastation to the planet and ultimately brings all the nations of the world together to battle
Him at Armageddon. Then comes Jesus' second triumphant return with those who were raptured previously.
Jesus’ first coming was as a suffering servant on our behalf; His second coming will be in all His glory, power and
might! He will then obliterate all those who rejected Him and will claim His throne in Jerusalem. From there Satan
and his cohorts will be imprisoned, unable to tempt people while Jesus rules the world for 1,000 years in the
period known as the millennium.
After the thousand years are up, Satan will be released to deceive the nations one last time for the final rebellion
against God. Again, those who allied themselves with the devil are destroyed, and Satan and his followers are

thrown into the lake of fire to burn eternally. Finally, once sin and evil are done away with, God creates a new
heaven and a new earth for His believers to dwell in eternally with Him.
That's the rapture and a summary of the end times as described in the Bible. You don't have to believe it, because
it's certainly an unbelievable series of events, but when they start to fulfil themselves, come back and keep reading.
"The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already
have it."
- Chuck Missler
This document may be called ‘The Rapture Survival Guide’ but the title actually aims for more of a "Surviving the
tribulation to reach the lost for Jesus" mentality since it's unlikely that many will live through the seals, trumpets
and bowls to come. However because of this, and my background in preparedness, I feel it's necessary to provide
some survival tips so that you can complete the Lord's work to the fullest.
Only Jesus knows when our time is up and no amount of preparation or stored resources will change that. This
information is given so you can help others survive in a time of great hardship while also being the salt and light,
and leading the lost to Christ. Feel free to print, copy, email and disseminate this guide to anyone and everyone
seeking truth in these 'biblical' times since there are no copyrights on it.

Introduction
Introduction
All of the terms in the introductory paragraph above are discussed in greater detail below to help you understand
God's plan for the gentiles (non-Jews) and the plan for His nation of Israel in the final chapter of earth.
If some of these prophecies such as the rapture have already been fulfilled and you're seeking answers, keep
reading! If anything, the events in the book of Revelation can be used to verify that the Bible is absolute truth,
given by a loving God outside of space and time. It's important that you understand this before continuing on or
you'll tend to disregard the essential points. For additional reasons why the Bible has to be true, see the separate
document entitled “Christianity” and look for the “Evidence for God” section. It can be found on the same
webpage you downloaded TRSG from, which is linked in the footer of every page.
This is the primary verse in the Bible referencing the rapture:
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will
be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Essentially, all those who accepted Christ between the cross and the rapture will be raised from the dead and meet
Jesus in the sky. All those still alive will be instantly transported as well, leaving their belongings and clothing
behind. During this transformation, all believers will be given new incorruptible, sinless bodies.
When will it happen?
As described in the Bible, the 'Last Trumpet' will sound when the last gentile (non-Jew) on earth is saved and the
'fullness of the gentiles' is complete. We have no idea what this number is, or even how many gentiles are
currently saved so the rapture could literally happen any second. Some believe that this 'last trumpet' could be
timed with the last blowing of the shofar on Yom Kippur - one of Israel's celebrations around late September or
early October every year. Some also believe that it's likely to sound on a Jubilee year; however once again nobody
knows the timing of the Jubilees. Others have tried to calculate the date using complex arithmetic and math, but
the truth is that nobody knows the day or the hour as outlined in the verse below.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."
Matthew 24:36
Although with that said, we are also given signs to watch out for and hints depicting the season in which the
rapture will occur. That component has been moved to the bottom of this guide to continue the flow as if the
rapture has already occurred. If you wish to read it, head to the 'Addendum > Rapture Timing > Rapture Season'
section.
There are plenty of other events which must be fulfilled in the near future such as the global government and the
one world religion. The three below are very distinct events which will be hard to miss, as they will garner global
media coverage when they occur.

Survival Tips Icon
Throughout the guide you will see this symbol under most of the judgements. These survival
tips are designed to help you plan ahead for the devastation to come and to use these resources
as witnessing opportunities for the lost. By giving freely and sharing the gospel, the unsaved will
experience the love of Christ first hand, and will hopefully become saved too.
The Timeline
Below are diagrams of how the end times events in Revelation are likely unfold based on a ‘premillennial
dispensational’ view of Christianity. I recommend referring back to them as you read through this document,
since you probably won't understand where each event sits without further study or this timeline in front of you.
The detailed version of the diagram may be daunting at first glance, but after reading the scriptures (mostly
Revelation and 2 Thessalonians) you will slowly be able to work out what each event signifies and where you
currently sit in God's timeline.
The Bible covers this 7 year tribulation period in better detail than any other period in the scriptures; however
there are still a few gaps which must be estimated. If you're reading after the rapture I recommend finding where
you currently sit in the timeline and read on - watching for the next judgement and preparing for what’s to come.
If anything, it can be used to prove the validity and accuracy of God's word to help keep you strong in the faith.
These three timelines should better help you visualize God’s end times plan no matter how knowledgeable you are
on the Bible. The first is an incredibly simple diagram with only the basic events in chronological order. The
second has more detail in the Tribulation period and contains the Seal, Trumpet and Bowl judgements. The final
timeline contains as much detail as possible for those wanting to see how it all fits together. Take some time now
to print and study the timelines and work out where you are.

The Timeline
For an easier reading experience I recommend downloading the high-definition (4K)
diagrams from my website at www.christianity.fluidicice.com/resources or by scanning
the QR code to the right. Additionally there are digital versions which are designed to fit a
screen perfectly and print versions which maximise the use of a sheet of paper.
This is a quick summary of the “Reading the Timelines” section below:
The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis splits up the events in heaven and
on earth. If you draw a vertical line anywhere on the diagram, any horizontal lines
that intersect with it may be occurring at that time. Colors have a relationship with
anything else that color. Gradients signify intensity and effect duration.
The Timeline Link
Reading the Timelines
This section will help you understand the timelines above.
To start reading this rather complicated diagram, take a look at the white 'Time' bar near the top. This shows
approximate timings for the events below such as the tribulation and the millennium. A little further down in the
light blue section are the events that take place in heaven and below that, events happening on earth. Vertical lines
spanning heaven and earth show you these events affect both. Any coloured text adjacent to coloured lines shows
a relationship. Coloured text is used to link common themes throughout the document, such as satanic influences
and events appearing red, events involving raptured believers in baby blue and the events involving Israel being
purple. Of course this may not always apply as I ran out of colours to use.
The events on earth have light brown and light red backgrounds. This is the section you will likely be focusing on
the most if you've missed the rapture since it contains the seals, trumpets and bowls. I recommend drawing a
vertical line on the diagram every so often to keep track of where you are in God's grand scheme. The horizontal
gradient lines are themed to particular events, people or groups of people and generally cover most of the
timeline. The weaker the gradient - the less it applies.
The events after the tribulation such as the millennium and eternity are more for your general information due to
not needing this diagram after the second coming of Jesus. That's about it, if you still have questions on it try
reading the referenced scriptures found on the detailed diagram.
The Order of Events
This is a quick explanation of the order of events in the detailed timeline above by referencing the colors.
The diagram starts before the rapture of the church (left of the blue rapture line) where lawlessness, natural
disasters and the persecution of the church will grow ever stronger in an attempt to wake people up from their
spiritual slumber and to turn them back to God. Then the rapture happens (the blue line with an upwards arrow
on the left) and the restrainer steps aside allowing all hell to break loose on earth. People will loot, steal, murder,
riot and cry out in agony as the entire world breaks down in desperation for someone to solve the world’s issues.
The deception sent by God post-rapture will fool many into believing 'the lie' and everyone will be fixed to their
televisions in disbelief and shock at what's happening around the planet.
Out of the shadows the one who will be called the 'antichrist' will rise to power having the solutions to the world’s
problems. (The orange gradient at the bottom) He will then establish a covenant with Israel allowing the third
temple to be built (maroon line at the bottom), kicking off the tribulation period (the entire light red area in the
middle). The tribulation is a time of God's wrath on a sinful world, and consists of 21 scroll related events in the
form of seals, trumpets and bowls (the 1-7 numbered events) including a few other events mentioned throughout
the Bible. The seals are the orange gradients near the top, the trumpets are the red-orange gradients and the bowls

Introduction
The Timeline
are the maroon gradients at the bottom right of the diagram. This is the point at which the seals and trumpets take
place; the bowls come after the mid-point.
3.5 years into the covenant with Israel (the red dotted line in the middle); the antichrist will sit on the throne in the
third temple and desecrate it with abominations to God. This is known as the Abomination of Desolation which
starts the horrific second half of the tribulation known as "The Great Tribulation" where the Jews and Christians
are hunted down relentlessly for their faith. (The green gradient near the bottom). At this point the antichrist will
mandate a 'mark' that everyone must take to be able to buy and sell. Whoever doesn't will be beheaded.
The bowls of God's wrath will be poured out on the world somewhere throughout this second half. (The maroon
gradients in the bottom right). Near the end of the 7 years the Euphrates River will dry up (Bowl 5) allowing the
nations of the world to gather in Armageddon, Israel to fight God. (Bowl 6) Jesus will then come gloriously from
heaven with those who were raptured and destroy all those who took the mark of the beast and those who do not
believe in Him. (The white vertical bar before the millennium)
Satan will be bound and those Christians who survived the tribulation and those who returned from heaven will
live harmoniously in the millennium with Jesus reigning on the throne of David. (The green section to the right).
After the 1,000 years have finished, Satan will be released once more to deceive the nations for a time before Jesus
destroys this uprising. (The white section to the right after the millennium)
After this, earth and heaven will be dissolved. The great white throne judgement then occurs, where all the Old
Testament saints and unbelievers throughout history are raised to life and judged by their actions in life. (The
black vertical bar). Once the judgement has passed and everyone has been grouped to either His left hand or His
right hand, He will send those to His left into everlasting judgement in hell and take those to His right into
everlasting life in heaven. Finally, a new heaven and earth will be created for us to live in eternally. (The yellow
and light blue bars)

Pre-Rapture
Introduction
Pre-Rapture
The period from the bestowal of the Holy Spirit until His removal at the Rapture. This time is also labelled as
“The Church Age”.
Introduction
First, to comprehensively explain what will happen after the rapture you need to understand what the Bible says
on the rapture and the events leading up to it, even if it's already happened. You would undoubtedly have many
questions on current events which the Bible passages in this section should shed some light on.
It will also help you to be aware of the ‘lie’ that will undoubtedly be on the news attempting to explain the
disappearance of only true Christians and young children. This will likely be some sort of 'alien abduction'
narrative, as demons will be working overtime to deceive all those who weren't taken after God Himself sets it
into motion with the removal of His believers.
The Term 'Rapture'
Some people say that the word "Rapture" isn't in the English Bible, and they would be right. The word "Jesus" or
"Trinity" isn't in the original Hebrew and Greek texts either but does that mean it's unbiblical? No. There have
been a few translations of the text since the original scripts were written down by the prophets all those years ago,
which is why some of the words had to be changed to make sense in our modern languages. Even though the
words are different, the meaning has stayed the same throughout all history.
Since the New Testament was written in Greek, this is the language where we will find the origins of the word
"Rapture". It was originally "ἁρπάζω" which, when transliterated [to write or print using the closest corresponding
letters of a different alphabet or language] means "Harpazo". Strong's Greek Concordance translates Harpazo to
mean:
1. to seize, carry off by force,
2. to seize on, claim for one's self eagerly,
3. to snatch out or away.
Therefore the harpazo is a seizing, 'kidnapping' or forcefully snatching away Jesus' believers to Him. That's the
meaning of the word but we still have to connect our word ‘Rapture’ with ‘Harpazo’. This is where the Latin word
‘raptus’ comes in. It means ‘a carrying off’ and is a root of the Medieval Latin word "raptura" which also means
seizure or kidnapping. The interpreters translated the Greek "ἁρπάζω" to the Latin "raptus", and over time it
became ‘raptura’ and finally the modern English word "Rapture".
Rapture Verses
These are some of the Bible verses mentioning the rapture. I've included the interpretation under each one,
however you should only ever trust the Holy Spirit for Bible interpretations, so I recommend looking them up
yourself and come to your own understanding. (Acts 17:11)
1 Corinthians 15:52
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

Pre-Rapture
Rapture Verses
This verse says the rapture will take place in the twinkling of an eye, which, according to Chuck Missler is a
reference to the time it takes for light to enter and bounce back out of the iris which is approximately 10^-42
seconds. (0.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 of a second) This is the smallest amount of
time possible in our digital universe. Believers won’t be ascending slowly into heaven as some TV shows visualise,
but they will be there one second and gone the next. Think of it like teleportation.
At the time of the rapture those who believe in Him who currently have sinful, corruptible and mortal bodies will
be transformed to an incorruptible state and given a glorified body in a nano-second.
Luke 21:29-31
Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are
already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also,
when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
The fig tree stands for the nation of Israel. When you see it begin to bloom (become prosperous) economically
and militarily, and dwelling in their land you know that the kingdom of God is near, in other words - the rapture is
close! Israel today is not only blooming but is a mini world superpower in many regards.
Luke 21:34-35
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on
all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
This verse is a reference to the rapture coming at a time when people will be taken up with the cares of their life.
The day it occurs will be an ordinary day like any other in the world and nobody will be expecting it. People will
be working, getting married and living as if there’s a tomorrow.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
This verse assures the church that those who have died will not miss out on His coming in the clouds. The dead
will rise first and then the living will be raptured to meet Him in the clouds. We don’t know how much of a delay
between the two groups there is, but we know there will be a delay due to the use of the word ‘first’. Potentially
there could be nanoseconds or hours between the dead rising and the rapture.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to
you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the
night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as
labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in

Rapture Verses
darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of
the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but
let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are
drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and
love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we
should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you
also are doing.
The Lord will come as a thief in the night for those who don't believe in Jesus or the rapture, at a time nobody
expects Him. Be watchful and sober so that when the rapture happens you aren't found in sin. God did not
appoint us to His wrath (the tribulation), so comfort each other with these words. The multiple references to
'night' likely means that the world will be vastly wicked during the time of the rapture, considering that believers
are 'of the day'. Night also links back to the model of a Jewish wedding where the bridegroom often came at
midnight. In this context Jesus is our bridegroom.
Who is it that says “Peace and Safety”? Some believe that it’s the leaders of the world attempting to solve the
‘burdensome stone’ of Jerusalem which is the epicentre of the conflict in the Middle East. The verse seems to
imply that when these governing parties believe they have secured peace and safety – potentially after some kind
of large conflict such as the Damascus destruction – then the rapture will happen.
Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Because you (the followers of Christ) have kept Jesus' word, He will keep you from the hour of temptation known
as the tribulation. The tribulation is to test Israel and those who remain on earth who weren't taken, to separate
the sheep - the followers and believers in Christ, from the goats - those who choose to go their own way and
worship false idols. You get a second (and final) chance to turn to Him if you missed the rapture. However if it
hasn't happened yet you should commit your life to Him now because you aren't guaranteed tomorrow and there
will be chaos and destruction worldwide when it happens. What if you're in a plane or a car driven by raptured
Christians?
Luke 17:34-35
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other
shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
Another verse about how the rapture will take place. Born again believers will be snatched away instantly from
whatever they are doing at the time. The rapture will occur instantly all over the globe, hence the people asleep in
bed, those out grinding at a mill which was a morning task in ancient civilizations, and the men in the field which
is a midday task. All humanity is called "Son of Man" by God, including females, so this verse isn’t referring to
homosexuals in the bed.

The Pre-Rapture World
John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that
where I am, there ye may be also.
Jesus is preparing a place for us in heaven and will soon come again to take us back to the place He prepared. We
aren't preparing the earth for His return as ‘Postmillennialism’ or ‘Kingdom Now’ theologists espouse. This verse
is the primary proof against their arguments. Jesus has been gone for thousands of years now – what do you
imagine our mansions would look like?
1 John 3:2
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we
know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
This verse explains what kind of body we will receive at the rapture. When we are transformed will no longer be 3
dimensional beings, but will share whatever dimensionality God possesses since we will "See Him as He is". (1
John 3:2)
Daniel 12:1-2
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of
thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation
even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the book.
After the rapture, Michael the angel will relinquish his guardianship position over Israel so the wrath of God and
the antichrist can befall every nation on earth. The people of Israel - in particular the sealed 144,000 of Jesus - will
be sealed by God and delivered through this tribulation.
The Pre-Rapture World
Lawlessness
As written in 2 Peter 3:1-9, there will be mockers and scoffers in the last days who will perpetually criticize
Christians for their belief in the rapture by saying: "When is He [Jesus] coming?" or "He's not coming, it’s been
thousands of years with no sign of His return."
They will mock the belief in the rapture, Jesus and Christians in general just for trusting the Word of God. This
mocking will become greater and more consistent in the days leading up to the rapture.
2 Peter 3:3-9
Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own
lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they wilfully forget:
that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in
the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the

heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until
the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing,
that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord
is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,
not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Unbelievers in the 'Last Days' will also seek to remove biblical traditions from all aspect of the world, such as
marriage between a man and woman and cutting out God completely as per Psalm 2:3. "Let us break their bonds
in pieces, and cast away their cords from us." We can continually see that the nations of the world are increasingly
removing biblical commandments and traditions while replacing them with: abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality,
hedonism, evolution, witchcraft, fornication and more.
It's no wonder the world is growing darker and more lawless by the day when our kids are brought up in a
schooling system by people who hate God, hate their country and hate those who have a biblical viewpoint.
As we get closer to the end times, there will be ever increasing natural disasters, hunger and famine. If you look
around the world right now, there are millions of people going hungry, despite God blessing us with a fertile and
abundant planet. There will also be major earthquakes which scientists have said are overdue as well as the spread
of new diseases. Recently we have had an epidemic of diseases breaking out that we haven’t been able to control
the spread of like Ebola, COVID-19, bird flu’s and other strains of the flu.
Many wonder what the world’s current devastation is telling us. Combined, they should be fairly obvious signs of
Christ's soon return which will be about 7 years after the enforcement of the covenant by the antichrist or 3.5
years after he declares himself as god in the temple. This gives those who are unsaved a second and even third
checkpoint, showing there's not long until His return.
Stage Setting
Meanwhile in the background, the stage is slowly being set for the final act to occur - the tribulation and the reign
of the antichrist. It's taken centuries but the world is finally at a place where technology has caught up to what's
described in the Bible. Israel is a physical country once again and most of the Jews are back in their land due to
the holocaust, World War 2 and the current turmoil of the world. COVID-19, credit cards and cryptocurrencies
have paved the way to remove the world's cash and set in momentum the path to a One World Currency. The
Pope has been trying to unite the religions of the world under one banner, stepping us towards the One World
Religion. Israel has all the materials ready to build the third temple; they just need the green light to go ahead. The
nations are also considering restoring Babylon to its former glory.
All the chess pieces are inching towards what the Bible prophecises the last days would be like, and the world
hasn't even realised. One day soon the stage will be completely set, and when that happens people from across the
world will turn on their TV's to shocking footage of people vanishing worldwide and strange and baffling signs in
the sky.
America's Collapse
The collapse of America is a prerequisite for the one-world government as long as they continue to be the world's
strongest capitalist nation. As of 2019 America is the closest and strongest ally Israel has ever had under Trump.
However, nobody is found in the Bible to help defend Israel during the Gog/Magog invasion (Ezekiel 38) leading
us to the conclusion that America must lose its superpower status before Israel can stand alone.

Pre-Rapture
The Destruction of Damascus
For decades now America, along with the other first-world countries have been abandoning and replacing the one
true God in all aspects of society. So it's no wonder that we're starting to see the wrath of God beginning to strike
the nations through civil unrest, lawlessness and insanity. 2020 was crazy enough of a year, but already we see that
both 2021 and 2022 made it look like a walk in the park! Currently in April 2022, America has stood idly by as
Russia invaded Ukraine, so what would you expect to happen if Israel was attacked by another nation, or a group
of nations? Below are a few other reasons why America will no longer be a world superpower anymore:

A Global War (Nuclear Weapons, EMPs, Weapons of Mass Destruction)
A Supervolcano (A Yellowstone VEI-8 Eruption)
A Mega-Earthquake on the west coast (America is situated on the ring of fire)
...or a combination of them.
The Destruction of Damascus
Isaiah 17 says that Damascus (in Syria) will cease to exist. That is, completely destroyed and never inhabited again.
We can be sure this hasn't taken place yet (in 2022) because the city exists and is called home to about 18 million
people. The reason it won't be inhabited again could be a hint at nuclear weapons use which, due to radiation can
render any location uninhabitable for decades.
This event could take place before OR after the rapture, so I've included it beforehand just in case. Take the
destruction of the city as a warning of what is to come and evidence that the Bible is true. If you're still sceptical,
read on for further prophecies of the future, or have a look at the ones which have already been fulfilled.

This event could be before or after the rapture (but most likely before)
Isaiah 17:1-3
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. The cities of
Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of
Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the Lord of hosts.
See Isaiah 17 for More
There may be much more to this prophecy than just the destruction of Damascus. It's possible that all the
enemies around Israel will also be wiped out in the same conflict - potentially with Neutron Bombs which only
destroy living tissue while leaving the buildings and vehicles intact. The reasoning behind this line of thought is
simple enough: In the Ezekiel 38 and 39 conflict (found below), Israel is 'dwelling securely' in the land, meaning
that there are no threats against them from surrounding nations.
The Rapture Survival Guide
21
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Pre-Rapture
Cash Phase-Out
Currently there are a multitude of countries and people whose sole goal is to wipe Israel from the map. They
shoot rockets, missiles and send explosive drones into Israel every other day while refining uranium and
constructing nuclear weapons in the background. Once they create that first nuclear weapon, we will be on the
verge of the Destruction of Damascus. As of April 2022, Iran has refined 50kgs of weapons grade plutonium.
(Source - Amir Tsarfati) There can’t be long left before they complete that first nuclear weapon.
Once Damascus is destroyed, there will likely be worldwide outrage against Israel unless their strike was retaliatory
after Syria attempts to destroy Israel with their own nuclear weapons. Alternatively Israel may be conducting
attacks on Hezbollah and accidentally hit Syria's nuclear facility, destroying the city, although this doesn't explain
how Israel can dwell securely afterwards so it's not a viable option. The same line of logic eliminates the possibility
of an accidental detonation of Damascus' own nuclear weapons.
Personally I believe (among other teachers like Chuck Missler and Hal Lindsey) that Damascus will be destroyed
soon before the rapture takes place. This may allow the first phase of the tribulation covenant to be set up with
Israel which will protect their borders and allow them to dwell securely, which also sets up the Ezekiel invasion
prophecy.
Cash Phase-Out
This is a prerequisite for the one-world currency to succeed. Cash and other forms of payments will likely overlap
the one-world currency for a transition period before it's shut down. We can see the devastating effects that
COVID-19 had on the flow of cash since people and companies weren't accepting it for fear of catching the virus.
Once cash is phased out and a form of digital currency is implemented (CBDCs - Central Bank Digital
Currencies), governments will have full control over how people spend their money and can even set expiry dates
on certain amounts of money to force people to spend it. This cash phase-out may also include the wiping out of
small business and individual’s wealth worldwide through an orchestrated stock market crash coupled with high
interest rates so they can begin to set up the foundation for universal basic income. At the time of writing in May
2022 we seem to be on the verge of a major stock market crash within a few months.
Power Consolidation
Recently, governments across the world have actively been taking steps towards stealing freedoms from the
people, either temporarily or permanently in countries where there's no pushback. Throughout 2020 to 2022 we
saw governments across the globe implementing emergency powers all in the name of a ‘public health crisis’ in
order to help prevent the spread of a (lab-designed) disease from which 99% of people would survive.
There will likely be additional future attempts to control the world through 'life threatening' climate change, which
could come with its own lockdowns for ‘the good of the planet’. This consolidation of government power will
also be greatly expanded after the rapture due to the introduction of alien life to earth and will therefore reveal the
need for a global committee to represent humanity. Eventually these heads of government will come together to
create the One World Government - led by the antichrist himself.
Religious Consolidation
Over the past few years the Pope has been attempting to bring the religions of the world together under one
banner to 'coexist' together. He claims that "we're all worshipping the same god anyway" and that "all religions
lead to god". There are countless passages in the Bible which refute these claims; however since he is more
focused on the 'idea' of religion than the true and living God the Pope will continue to deceive many and even
deceive himself. Over time we will continue to see the unification of different religions under one banner, and as a
result true Christians will become more and more discriminated against.

Islamic Power Removed
Islamic Power Removed
If the Dome of the Rock is to be destroyed or dismantled for the building of the third temple, there must either
be a war with, or a peace agreement with the Muslims to be able to remove it or build next to it. The most likely
reason that all the Muslims around Israel are simultaneously destroyed could be during the Destruction of
Damascus.
Alternatively the temple could be destroyed during the invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38), by a natural disaster such as
an earthquake or purposefully dismantled after an arrangement is made with the antichrist. There's also a chance
that the third temple could be built nearby without the dome of the rock being touched.
Rapture Timing
To maintain the flow of this document, the section on the rapture timing has been moved to the addendum. To
summarise, the rapture will absolutely occur pre-tribulation because of the multiple passages and biblical 'types'
pointing us in that direction.

Introduction
This is the point at which the 'fullness of the gentiles' is complete and those saved through Jesus and those
younger than the age of accountability are removed from the world instantly. In that moment people who witness
the event first hand may think their eyes have deceived them or that it's a trick of the light. However the
realization that people have vanished will slowly settle in the pits of their stomach as they look at the clothes and
belongings that have been left behind.
Suddenly, strange lights and objects fill the sky and all anyone can do is stare up in utter shock and unbelief at
what's taking place around them. Many will try to call their friends and loved ones but won't be able to get
through due to the sheer volume of data being exchanged.
Drivers will have a lapse in concentration and cause collisions on a massive scale, compounded by raptured
motorists. Thieves will start by grabbing wallets left behind and are likely to move on to looting abandoned
houses and shops next. In utter urgency many will run out to panic buy anything they can get their hands on,
some will turn to drinking and partying, others will turn to self-pleasure and some will cry out to God in
desperation. Within an hour of the rapture: communications networks would have gone down; transportation will
be gridlocked; the shops will be sold out; lawlessness such as theft, violence and crime would instantly be global;
and utilities such as water, gas and electricity will be under stress or may fail completely.
This is the horror I envision after the first hour after the rapture. I cannot convey how absolutely terrifying this
day - and the events to come, will be for all those who are left behind. If you are reading this before the rapture TODAY is the day of salvation!
Survival Tips
Up until the rapture it's assumed that most of this reader base had no interest in the rapture or
the Bible and would likely have been caught totally unprepared for an event of this magnitude. If
you're reading this pre-rapture you should accept Jesus TODAY! From this point onwards for
those left behind, I recommend looking at the survival tips ahead of time so you can be as best
prepared as possible for the absolute chaos ahead.
These are the groups of people who will be taken in the rapture:

Born-Again Christians
The Rapture Survival Guide
24
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
The Rapture
Introduction
All believers in Christ who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, believing that He died and rose
again will be taken. This includes Jews who have accepted Christ even though the majority of Israel will
go through the tribulation.

Young Children
Young children who have not yet reached the "age of accountability" will also be taken in the rapture
leaving parents frantic.

Unborn Babies
This isn't mentioned in the Bible, however can you imagine a scenario where Jesus calls a believing
mother home and not the baby inside her? Fetuses of non-believers are a grey area, but will most likely be
taken too as part of the 'young children'. There's going to be a lot of miscarriages and vanishing fetuses at
the time of the rapture.
And this is a list of notable people and groups who probably won't be taken in the rapture, so don't be deceived
by anything they say if they remain behind:

The Pope
Contrary to what the world believes, the Pope is more ungodly and blasphemous than most other people
on the planet. He doesn't talk about the blood of Jesus, he doesn't tell people they are sinful and need to
be saved and he is trying to align all religions into a One World Religion.

The Catholic Church
The Catholic Church is unfortunately misled by the pope today who picks and chooses what they believe
in the Bible. Therefore many people who attend Catholic churches have never accepted Jesus into their
life. The Bible explicitly says that the Catholic Church (Thyatira) will go into the tribulation if they don't
repent. Revelation 2:18-29.

Other 'Christian' Churches
Other apostate Christian churches which believe in Jesus but have strayed from the truth likely won't be
raptured. This could include: Seventh Day Adventists, Pentecostal Churches, Christian Science believers,
Jehovah's Witnesses and more. Overall it comes down to an individual's personal belief in Jesus and not
the church they are part of.

All Other Religions
People in all other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, etc., definitely won't
be raptured.

Many Televangelists
"Christians" such as Joel Osteen, Andy Stanley, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and Kenneth Copeland most
likely won't be taken. You don't want to follow or believe anything a self-professed "Christian" has to say
who remains after the rapture.

"The Music & Tv Industry"
Television stations, musicians and actors who have sold their souls to the devil also definitely won't be
taken and will likely have a part to play in the deception of the masses with their influence and followers.

The Alien Deception
The Alien Deception
At the time of the rapture, God Himself will send a strong delusion to deceive the world, which even the wise will
find irresistible to believe. "That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). It seems that the only plausible way to explain the disappearance of
millions from earth (without using the truth) is to blame it on otherworldly beings such as aliens.
It's interesting to note that God says that "those who took pleasure in unrighteousness" will be the ones who are
deceived. Therefore if you're reading this - you aren't included in this category of people. Anyone who pursued a
life of sin and actively pushed away God won't be able to recognise the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That
they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Why Aliens?
There are quite a number of reasons why the most likely cover-up for the rapture will be an alien abduction:



The lie (2 Thessalonians 2) will need to be something otherworldly since no human technology can cause
millions of people to vanish.
Aliens have slowly been integrated with our culture by Satan over hundreds of years. The thought of
other life in the universe is now relatively accepted in society and is backed by the lie of evolution which
is taught in schools today.
In the past, demons have frequently disguised themselves as aliens. Those who have encountered them
have claimed abduction experiences which share a common theme of demonic possession when studied
carefully.
The Vatican has openly discussed baptising an alien. Because of this, it explains why the Pope and much
of the Catholic Church will be left behind.
In 2020, an Israeli space security chief has stated: "They (the aliens) have been waiting until today for
humanity to develop and reach a stage where we will understand, in general, what space and spaceships
are".
Daniel 2:43 "...They will mingle with the seed of men..." This implies that 'they' aren't human.
Governments currently claim that "aliens are real and are secretly in contact with America and Israel".
Have you noticed the sheer amount of Hollywood movies that involve aliens in recent years? How about the fact
they usually prefer to take children for themselves?
The Rapture Survival Guide

The Rapture
The Alien Deception
This is no accident. This lie has been slowly planted in the hearts of those directing Hollywood movies by none
other than Satan himself to continue the grand deception God sends the world when the born-again believers are
taken to heaven.
People may not care about, or might even be thrilled about the disappearance of Christians from the earth, but
when it comes to their own children they will want answers!
The media currently lies to us and twists the truth to suit them every day as it is, so why believe the story they, the
government, or Satan concocts? There will be a lot of conspiracy theories going around, so you should read the
Bible and pray daily to stay grounded. God's living word was written over 2,000 years ago with the exact
specifications on how these end times would be fulfilled, and judging by history it's been 100% accurate so far and
will continue to be.
If you think logically about the rapture and disappearance of Christians from the planet and that this once
"unthinkable" event actually happened, what would you say the chance of the rest of the Bible being true is? It's
important to come to an understanding yourself that the Bible originates from a loving God outside of space and
time. Without your own personal experience of this you're likely to drift away from Him. If you're interested in
evidence on why God has to be real, take a look at the "Christianity > Evidence for God" section.
An excellent video by Chuck Missler explaining how aliens are eluded to throughout the Bible can be found
below. You can also scan the QR code to open the video if you have a printed guide.
Chuck Missler - Return of the Nephilim Session 2
https://youtu.be/91wtHi-F0oM?t=2557 (Start at 42:37 for the part on aliens)
After years of study it's my personal conviction that when we're raptured and meet Jesus
in the air, we will shine brightly as many points of light in the sky (Matthew 13:43) all
across the globe which will seemingly be extraterrestrial life when viewed from the
ground. Each person a different brightness based on the works they did on earth during
their life (Daniel 12:3) with Jesus as the brightest light. This could be "the lie" sent by
God which explains the disappearances.
Return of the Nephilim
Session 2
Of course it could be something else entirely, that's just my interpretation from studying the scriptures. Remember
that throughout the Bible Jesus warns us not to be deceived by anyone, but test what you're told to see if it's of
the holy spirit or not. (Acts 17:11) Therefore test my words and study the Bible for yourself to either confirm or
deny these things if it's still future.
The rapture, the disappearance of children, COVID-19, global conflict, food shortages, economic crashes, civil
unrest and the continuation of natural disasters on the planet will bring the world to its knees in desperation for a
leader to end the suffering and to unite the world. Enter the antichrist to provide all the answers people have been
seeking and to solve the problems of the world.
Any new Christians after the rapture are going to face extreme hardship and have their faith tested daily. They will
most likely be beheaded for their faith or their refusal to take the mark of the beast on their hand or forehead, but
their soul will be preserved in Christ and they'll dwell with Him forever. Every soul lives forever, it's just a matter
of location, location, location. Whether that's with Jesus in heaven, or burning with the devil in hell. (By the way,
Satan doesn't 'control' hell; he will be subject to its torment more than anyone else for eternity)
First and foremost, seek earnestly the word of God. Besides, isn't the rapture the ultimate proof that God exists?
If you don't believe yet, keep reading to hear about more future events which will prove the Bible. An example is

The Alien Deception
that the future world leader - the antichrist will have a deadly head/eye wound and a right arm wound which have
both been healed. (Zechariah 11:17)
Verses on Deception
To emphasize how important it is not to be deceived, here is an incomplete list of where the Bible mentions
deception.
Matthew 24:4 & Mark 13:5
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
Matthew 24:5 & Mark 13:6
For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Matthew 24:24 & Mark 13:22
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if
possible, even the elect.
Luke 21:8
And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying,
‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away
comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts
himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of
God, showing himself that he is God.
2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming
in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
1 Corinthians 3:18-19
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a
fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is
written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the
kingdom of God.
2 Timothy 3:13

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Colossians 2:4-5
Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. For though I am absent
in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness
of your faith in Christ.
Demons & Aliens
If you're unfamiliar with demons - they have the capability to produce signs, shapes, lights and anything else we
can see visibly in the sky and Satan will likely use these to deceive those who remain on the earth. It's possible that
it could be the believers in the sky with the Lord who appear as bright lights, which could be this deception that
God Himself sends.
If you wish to study more on demons and how they can interact with our world I recommend the videos below

are about an hour long each.

Other Deceptions
Apostate Churches
Apostate churches are the ones that do not teach directly from the Bible but rather their own interpretation of it.
Pastors who have fallen from the truth, and who are NOT TO BE FOLLOWED include: Joel Osteen, Andy
Stanley, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn and The Pope among many others. Additionally you do
NOT want to follow any "pastors" who are left behind after the rapture as this means that Jesus didn't even know
them, therefore they weren't taken.
Instead seek teaching by those who are no longer here and hold true to the word of God such as: Chuck Missler,
J.D. Farag, Jan Markell, Jack Hibbs, Billy Crone, Don Stewart, Hal Lindsey, Amir Tsarfati, Barry Stagner, Terry
James, Eric Barger, Dr Mark Hitchcock and Brandon Holthaus. Each of them has sound biblical theology and
doesn't allegorize the Bible, but instead takes each passage literally. They fear God and the consequences that He

has in place if anyone alters the words of the Bible (verse below), and so do I, therefore I bring you the truth and
only the truth.
Revelation 22:18-19
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to
these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book
of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The Enlightenment Deception
Another likely deception being pushed by Satan and his cohorts in an attempt to explain the rapture is the belief
by spiritualists that the new 'Age of Aquarius' will bring an age of increased 'global consciousness'. This
consciousness or enlightenment will apparently sweep the globe, expanding everyone's minds with the knowledge
that they themselves are god, and that these aliens will evolve humanity to the next phase of consciousness. They
will push the fact that, "this is the enlightenment of the world - the beginning of the age of Aquarius", and "those
who are a burden to the earth have been removed - but are safe".
Personally I think it will be a very hard sell to tell parents that their own children were 'detrimental to the earth'
and had to be removed too. They would most likely have to say that 'in order to keep your children safe, they had
to be removed'. Although why remove them as well as the believers who were apparently causing the earth's
destruction? Lots of questions that can only be answered post-rapture.
In the new-ager's own words the coming Age of Aquarius will:






Provide a lot of worldwide changes triggered by crises and pressure.
Change society, the ruling structures, and the elite of the world, due to Jupiter joining Saturn in Aquarius.
(AKA: The rise of globalism)
Distribute the resources of the world more equally to everyone. (Basically communism, but the Bible also
says this will happen via a 'mark' given to everyone in the future) (Remember the tag-line: "You will own
nothing and be happy.")
Make knowledge, science and astrology the new governing powers of the world. (Rather than religious
traditions and biblical values)
Bring a 'true' democracy to reign on earth (More like an elected dictatorship, since the antichrist will be
ruling)
Open the world up to true equality through a horizontal network of individuals rather than a vertical,
tiered one, where the rich are at the top. (Also socialism/communism)
Be sure to read your Bible daily to solidify your faith in the rapture and to avoid the doctrines of demons which
will undoubtedly take hold in those days. Whatever happens right after the rapture will be sent by God to give
those who rejected Him over to their depraved activities:
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that
they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Another point to note is that the Qanon movement is another group of people who believes that there may be a
time coming where everyone on earth will be 'enlightened'. However they are just another medium of deception.

The Rapture
The Restrainer Steps Aside
Satan is the price of the power of the air and if one thing is evil today - it's the broadcasts that are making their
way into our homes today which can only be described as the mouthpiece of the devil, so stay vigilant and flee
from these technological mouthpieces which will flood your home with lies.
Satan will also use the rapture to push for the formation of the one world government and the one world religion
due to now needing an 'assembly of earth delegates' to speak for the planet. The devil is the father of lies and he
will do everything in his power to cause deception, even to the point of showing sightings of UFOs in the sky for
all to see, in an attempt to bring everyone together under one banner.
Since all Christians would have been taken to meet Jesus in the air, and then to heaven, there will be nobody on
earth to spread His gospel in a time when people will be most desperately seeking answers. So if you believe the
disappearance must have been the rapture and you believe in Jesus, please share this document everywhere
possible so that others may be saved. Some recommendations include: Email, Facebook, Gab, Parler, MeWe,
Facebook chat, YouTube, Rumble, Twitter, Instagram, Text Messages, Word of Mouth, Mail Drops, printed
copies on the street, Reddit, personal websites, blogs, forums, whatsapp, tumblr, pinterest, LinkedIn, snapchat,
billboards, TV advertisements and anything else you can think of. For my own tracts head to:

The Restrainer Steps Aside
As the Holy Spirit dwells in those believing in Christ, so too will the Restrainer 'step aside' when the harpazo
happens. As Christians were the salt and the light of the earth, they slowed the decay of our planet by living to
God's standards, and now in a world without Christians the world will plunge so much faster into chaos, sin and
rebellion. The Holy Spirit will still be around to indwell and help believers after the rapture; however lawlessness
and sin in general will no longer be restrained.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-7
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the
mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is
taken out of the way."

An individual of prominence, rising through the ranks and solving the world’s
problems. (The Antichrist)
Continual integration of these 'aliens' with human life.
Discussions of a covenant or a deal with Israel
In the period between the rapture and the tribulation, lawlessness will increase daily and the world will become
increasingly desperate for answers on what's happening across the planet. Millions of jobs will still be empty which
will affect the food supply chains, manufacturing, construction and every other facet of society. The speed of the
earth's downward trajectory will increase dramatically and the nations of the world will desperately seek a leader to
lift the world out of these debilitating times.
The elite of the world will seek to form a global government to help curb the global chaos in addition to liaising
with these 'aliens'. They will destroy people's rights, lock them down, throw them in prison and will kill anyone
who resists their agenda. These days will be filled with fear of the alien life, the fear of other lawless people and
the fear of the future. If you find yourself living in these perilous times, accept Jesus, because you may not live
much longer considering the 'biblical' judgements to come.
Weeks after the rapture, people will be in utter shock at what has happened and is still happening around the
planet! First the disappearance of millions of people and then the arrival of extraterrestrial life. By this point the
aliens would have likely made contact with humanity 'revealing themselves' as peaceful beings who only wish to
'enlighten' the human race with advanced ideas to help solve the world's problems.
Satan is a master of deception and he's been plotting this lie for centuries to get the majority of the world to
believe the rapture was of alien origin. Most people will believe it - since there will be some form of proof visible
in the sky worldwide, as well as being broadcast on live TV. These 'aliens' will eventually reveal themselves and
will probably speak on live interviews in human languages which they are likely to explain by claiming they've been
monitoring humans for centuries. (Which is true since they're demons and fallen angels)
The section is conjecture based off the verse in Daniel 2:43 that says "...they will mingle with the seed of men...”
This means that 'they' can't be human. So according to the Bible, the aliens will continue to integrate themselves
with humans until such as day they will have sexual relations with human women (and men), just like the days of
Noah. Read Genesis 19 paying particular attention to verse 5 to realise that the inhabitants of Sodom wanted to
have sexual relations with those angels. Additionally the Nephilim described in Noah's day were born from a
fallen angel and a human woman having sex.
Remember that in the Bible, angels are never referred to in any gender other than masculine. Therefore all fallen
angels and demons are male and if these 'aliens' are all male too it will prove even that they're demons which have
left their first habitation (Jude 1:6). By 'habitation' (or in the Greek "oiketerion"), the Bible means they disrobed
from their spiritual body in higher dimensions to be able to enter our dimension.

Post-Rapture
What Should I Do?
During this time of clean-up and repair, the world will fall further into disarray and the nations will seek a leader
to deliver them from the earth's continual problems. Then upon the scene, the self-declared "saviour" of the
world will come, making "peace" among nations. He will enforce a new peace treaty, or make an existing treaty
even greater with Israel and allow the third temple to be built. This peace he brings will not be achieved through
pen and ink but with the sword, by destroying those nations who do not align with his goals for 'the good of the
planet'.
The time between the rapture and the tribulation is unknown, but it likely won't be longer than a few years due to
the dark powers that want to unite this planet under a global government, and the sooner they achieve this, the
sooner they control the planet. During this time, everyone will be trying to recover from the chaos of the rapture
while allowing the antichrist - the mouthpiece of Satan himself to rise to power with all the ‘solutions’.
SO THE RAPTURE'S HAPPENED, AND THE WORLD IS IN ABSOLUTE CHAOS!
WHAT SHOULD I DO???
What Should I Do?
So, what happens next now that the rapture has taken place and you want to start living your life for God? Below
is a series of steps for you to kick start your walk with Jesus in these extremely troubling times.
1. BELIEVE
Believe that Jesus Christ is Lord!
Firstly you should be absolutely sure that you believe the disappearance of people was due to the rapture, the
same event prophesied throughout the Bible. You can read the "Pre-Rapture" section for the evidence and Bible
verses about the rapture's soon fulfilment from a pre-rapture perspective. There will be a lot of deception
afterwards which may even deceive the wise (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12), so be strong and read your Bible for the
truth!
You should also believe that Jesus is real and alive today. You should know that God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus
are one person (called the trinity by scholars), and that Jesus came and died for your sins on the cross nearly 2,000
years ago, and rose on the third day. I have included the gospel of John among other books in the "Christianity >
The Bible" section further below so you can read it for yourself right here. If you still have questions whether
God exists you should read the "Evidence for God" section for some remarkable facts about Him and how He
left a way for us to authenticate Him through the Bible.
If you haven't already, accept Jesus Christ as your saviour. Jump to the 'Accepting Jesus' section for the detailed
version on how to be saved. But put simply you need to:
a) Admit you're a sinner in need of a saviour,
b) Believe that Jesus is Lord and that He died and rose again on the third day, and
c) Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and that you wish to follow His ways putting your old life behind you.
It's that simple, but these aren't just 'magic words' you say to go to heaven, you honestly and truly have to believe
every word you say because Jesus looks at the heart. It's never too late to be saved and you can still live with God
for eternity, even though it'll be much tougher now. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, so whatever
you've done in the past can be forgiven. I've included a lot of other information in the Christianity section which
will also help on your journey of discovering God, read through it when you're done with these steps.
2. STUDY
The Rapture Survival Guide
33
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Post-Rapture
What Should I Do?
Study the Word of God.
Read and study your Bible daily, I recommend starting with John (Not 1 John, but the John that comes after
Luke) for a great book covering all the important topics from Jesus' ministry. If you don't have a Bible, a few of
the books have been included in the "Christianity > The Bible" section of this document.
Once you're done with John I recommend reading Acts, Romans, Genesis, Revelation, Luke, Psalms and
Proverbs followed by the rest of the New Testament and then the Old Testament. If you're a visual learner and
would like to go through the Word of God with an incredible dedicated teacher, I recommend looking up Chuck
Missler's 'Learn the Bible in 24 hours' for an incredible introduction to the Bible and how it all fits together. After
this it would be beneficial to go through Chuck Missler's study on either ‘The Rapture’ or Revelation as there's
quite a large overlap in the content discussed.
Learn the Bible in 24 Hours: https://christianity.fluidicice.com/learnthebible
Before and after reading His word I recommend a time of worship to praise the Lord of the universe for all the
gifts, love and compassion He's showered us with. Singing the Psalms is a great way to praise Him! If you don't
understand something particular in the Bible, bring it to Him in prayer that He may open your eyes so you can see
what He means.
I have a collection of worship songs with lyrics on my site here: https://christianity.fluidicice.com/worship
If you're unfamiliar with the Bible, the last book - Revelation contains most of the information about the end
times and the antichrist. However there are many other books of the Bible with end times significance such as
Daniel, and 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Revelation can be difficult to comprehend without sound knowledge of the rest
of the Bible (since it's in code), therefore I recommend looking up Bible commentary pastors such as Chuck
Missler to assist in the decryption of any books you're struggling with, since some of the old language can be
perplexing.
Next you should learn all you can about the tumultuous times coming ahead to prepare yourself. Further below,
starting from "The Tribulation" heading is a summary and interpretation of the events in the book of Revelation
which outlines each of God's judgements on the earth. If anything, each of these can be used to verify the Bible is
true and to help others believe His word. For further study on how the world descended into the darkness and
evil we see today I recommend reading my "Biblical Values and Ethics" document which can be found on my
online archive. It compares biblical values with modern day values on topics such as marriage, love, sex,
homosexuality, abortion, God, evolution, Satan and more.
Then watch some of the content in the 'Christian Content' section in 'Next Steps' further below as these are biblebased truth seeking individuals who don't compromise on the word of God. There are hours and hours of free,
downloadable content which will teach you everything there is to know about the Bible and God. But don't forget
to read the Bible for yourself!
3. KNOW
Know what's coming soon.
This period on earth will be the most destructive the world has ever seen, with man-made wars, 8.5+ magnitude
earthquakes, volcano's, seas turning red, mountain sized meteors falling from space and much more. To top it off
the antichrist will seek to kill all Jews and Christians during the last 3.5 years of his reign - after he sits in the
temple and calls himself god.
The Rapture Survival Guide

www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Post-Rapture
What Should I Do?
He will behead those who don't take his mark on their forehead or right hand, so unfortunately the odds are
greatly against you surviving until the second coming of Jesus. But I can guarantee you one thing, if you stand
firm in the faith no matter what happens to you, you will live eternally with Jesus - the King of the universe forevermore! As you go to your death for Christ, know that you are mere seconds away from seeing Him face to
face! I pray that you have courage and you stand by your commitment to the Lord in those dark times that He
gives you strength, boldness, wisdom and peace. Remember the verse below through any troubles of hardship you
face, another good one is Psalm 23.
Matthew 10:28
Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!
The Bible explicitly says that you won't enter heaven once you take this mark, as it's a sign of allegiance with the
devil. This mark will be one that the world leader (the antichrist) mandates everyone on earth must receive on/in
either their forehead or their right hand, allowing them to buy and sell. This mark is probably some form of chip
implant or electronic tattoo to allow seamless and instant digital transactions. It's interesting that you can lose your
salvation by taking this mark. Scholars have considered the possibility that it changes your DNA structure,
converting you into something that's non-human and therefore putting you outside the scope of salvation.
Revelation 20:4
Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the
word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on
their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand
years.
For a wonderfully uplifting video about holding fast when facing persecution and potential execution, watch:
Interview with Former Iranian Prisoners Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH_12pxMnM0
If you can, get a copy of Corrie Ten Boom's book 'The Hiding Place'. It's an incredible story of her faith in God
during the Holocaust. It also teaches you to never give up and to trust God in all situations because His eternal
plans will outshine temporary suffering.
4. GROUP
Find a group of individuals who love the Lord.
There's certainly strength in numbers and this still applies in the last days. Your journey will be made much easier
with a team of likeminded individuals on the same journey together. Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking who he
may devour, and a believer all alone is an easier target than a group of 3 or more believers.
Unfortunately not everyone will be accepting of the Lord or the gospel in these lawless times, so it may take some
effort to find a group. However once you have, it will be such a rewarding experience being able to study, pray,
worship and spread His love together. You will be able to delegate duties to each member to help the group
survive as a whole. Be sure to stay physically and spiritually close to everyone and quickly solve issues that arise so
the devil can't divide you.
The Rapture Survival Guide
35
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Post-Rapture
What Should I Do?
Even if you are alone on this journey you will always have Jesus who you can pray to at any time. I'm sure that if
you ask Him for another Christian companion to support you (and if it's within His will), you will find someone.
There will be a multitude of tribulation saints (Revelation 7:9-17), so you certainly aren't alone.
5. PREPARE
Prepare for the turmoil ahead.
Due to the desolation and 'biblical disasters' to come it would be wise to look ahead and prepare so that you can
be an effective witness to the lost in the last days. Remember that you won't be stocking up for yourself, but using
it as a means to bless and guide your family, friends and neighbors towards Christ. It will certainly be more
difficult to be self-sufficient after the rapture due to the panic buying that would likely have ensued, but with
God's help you can establish a garden, a water purification system and provide much needed resources to others.
To start on your preparedness journey (after you read the 'Post-Rapture Survival section below), read through
'The Preparedness Encyclopedia (TPE)' which I compiled as a Christian themed survival guide for times such as
these. I would start with the 'Introduction' section for the basics and then head to the different sections you need
from there. Additionally most of the judgements in the sections below have specific survival tips attached which
won't be included in TPE due to being extremely specific.
Some of the ways you can prepare now are:







Collect Bibles and download digital Christian media before they are burnt and erased,
Study the Word of God and memorise as much as you can,
Learn about preparedness and how to survive with what little you have,
Put together a Bug-Out Bag for situations you need to leave quickly,
Start growing, foraging, hunting, storing and preserving food for the difficult times ahead,
Find ways of purifying large quantities of water or buy manufactured water filters if they are available,
Live minimally because you may have to leave at any moment due to disasters or the global police
(antichrist) coming after you.
6. EQUIP
Equip yourself spiritually.
You're about to head into battle in the most destructive time in all of history, against a spiritual foe who cannot be
harmed by mortal weapons, who only Jesus can conclusively defeat. Satan is the father of lies and there will
certainly be a LOT of them circulating after the rapture.
Put on the armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) so you can resist the devil's attempts to take you down. The
armour is explained in the Christianity section if you don't understand it immediately. Equip it and teach those
around you about the greatness of the Lord Almighty!


Belt of Truth: Spread truth to counter the deception and lies spewed by the father of lies.
Breastplate of Righteousness: Protects the vital organs. Jesus has imputed the Righteousness of Christ to
us so that we may be righteous.
Footwear of Peace: The footwear protects from the snares of the enemy since as advance into Satan’s
territory with the gospel.
Shield of Faith: Protects against Satan sowing doubt about the faithfulness of God.
Helmet of Salvation: Blows to the head can be fatal. Know you're saved through Jesus Christ and that
your eternal future is secure.

What Should I Do?
Sword of the Spirit: Your weapon against the enemies of God. A sword can also be used defensively, so
memorise as much as you can.
Prayer: The heavy artillery. Pray for yourself and those who are lost.
If you don't already, you should find some like-minded individuals who are on the same Christian walk as you and
want to live for Him too. Having companions on this journey makes the journey much easier and you can support
each other through times of hardship, and praise God together.
7. PROCLAIM
Proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord!
It's time to head out into the world to fulfil His purpose for your life by living for Him and spreading His gospel
to all those who are lost in the world. Pray for all other Christians in these troubled times that they may stand
strong and be resilient against the devil. Pray that those who are questioning the rapture won't take the mark of
the beast and won't be led astray by the lies of the elites and the media.
Read your Bible consistently to learn and memorise His word whenever you can - because it's very likely that
Bibles will be banned. Give praise and worship to Jesus daily. Help those around you who need assistance or food
and spread the gospel and this guide to whoever needs it. Live a life worthy of God by emulating His example to
us while He was here. Feed those in need, assist anyone needing help, give with no thought of return and above all
preach the gospel to everyone so that all might be saved!
Do not be afraid because Jesus has overcome the world, He knows the end from the beginning and He has
already defeated Satan at the cross! Everything happens in His timing and all the events across the world are under
His control. He sees everything happening at all points in time, from the ant carrying a breadcrumb in Dubai to
the person in jail desperately crying out to Him in Ireland.
He works in mysterious ways and can turn around events that may seem evil from our point of view to acts that
glorify Him. An example is COVID and the current chaos in the world, which upon second glace is bringing
thousands of people to a saving knowledge of Him. He chooses the weak in the world to demonstrate His power
and to confound the strong, such as David against Goliath. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end. Do you really know Him?
John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is
the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:9
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is
with you wherever you go.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Post-Rapture Survival
The information below is given so you can help yourself and others survive in a time of great hardship while also
being the salt and light in the world. You should use the skills in the document below to bless others by providing
food, water, shelter, electricity and other basic needs to anyone in need. We've been given this knowledge of the
future to not only verify the Bible but to prepare for what's to come and share with others the blessing of the
word of God.
Always remember that only God knows when our time on this earth is up and no amount of preparation or
stockpiling of resources will change that. So that you don't become over prepared and complacent, remember the
parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13-21) who had stored many years’ worth of food away for himself, but then
God demanded his life that very night.
Again, I have to mention 'The Preparedness Encyclopedia (TPE)', a document I
compiled on everything preparedness related through a Christian perspective. It's
around 2,000 pages of survival, preparedness and self-sufficiency knowledge to help
get you through almost any catastrophe on this earth. It's topic searchable and contains
information on everything from finding water, to building a log shelter, to hunting for
food. It took me thousands of hours to compile but is completely free – all in the hope
it saves eternal lives, and perhaps prolongs your physical life a little longer.
You can either click on the website link below, scan the QR code to the right, or find
links to my off-site backups in the ‘Next Steps’ section. You can also check the

The Preparedness

https://fluidicice.com/tpe
This section makes a few assumptions:




The rapture has already occurred and the world is in utter chaos. (Therefore there's no 'preparing' for the
chaos to come)
You are a born again believer in Christ and are living for Him and His glory. (You're not just trying to
stay alive for your own ends)
You are ready and willing to die for Jesus and aren't concerned about saving your own life over serving
Him.
You are an ambassador for Christ which means you will put yourself last in this world and give freely to
all those who need it. (You won't be winning souls if you fight someone over the last can of beans in a
supermarket)
Throughout the rest of this document I will include a Survival Tips window on every major event to help you
prepare for what's coming. You will have a significant advantage in the tribulation by knowing, and being able to
prepare for these events specifically. Use this knowledge to bless others in need, in order to lead them to the Lord.
Post Rapture Scenario
It's hard to accurately summarise the chaos that will occur once the rapture takes place, but let's start with what's
happening at the moment and extrapolate from there. In April 2022 (the time of writing this section) we're
currently witnessing manufactured food shortages, rising fuel prices, rapid inflation, electricity crises, business
closures, life threatening 'vaccine' reactions, the potential for global war, increasing crime, corrupt politicians,
worker strikes and the continual effects of COVID plaguing the world.

Post-Rapture Survival
Assuming that all of these problems will escalate and compound on one another we might be seeing global
starvation, scarcity in all consumer products, proliferating family and small business bankruptcies, a completely
devastated economy, inflation approaching hyperinflation and a flattening or a decline in the population on earth
within a year or two.
On a more local level, crime will have shot right up as people become desperate for food, water and fuel, and
there will be few (if any) items on the shelves. What remains will be prohibitively expensive - for the luxuries, and
barely affordable for the staples of daily life. It sounds like a horrific dystopian future, but unfortunately this
disaster will have actualized and it will still only be the beginning of the turmoil. At this point the stage will be set
for 'the man with the answers' who solves the world’s problems with ease, bringing stability and a false peace to
the planet.
But first, the rapture.
When the believers are taken out and God reveals 'the lie', all of the disasters above will kick into overdrive.
Everyone will freak out, either buying or stealing what they can from the shops. Crashed vehicles may litter the
streets. People will stop turning up to work (if they can get there at all) which will cause every supply chain to
instantly break. Internet and phone networks will likely fail. Electricity, gas and water may stop flowing. Some
people will drink themselves into oblivion, others will cave to the desires and lusts of their hearts, and a few will
fall on their knees and turn to God. If you're reading this then you're probably one of the ones who turned to
God.
When disaster strikes, many across the world will seek answers to what's going on through the elites, celebrities
and the media, but particularly through religion. This will truly be the best time to spread the love of Christ to the
lost, depressed and angry people in the world by being kind, generous and selfless to those around you. However,
in a world without the true Church the lie will eventually spread that those who were taken were the 'unbelievers'
or those who were holding back humanity - particularly by these aliens, the false pastors and the 'enlightened' in
the world.
I can't state enough how dangerous and misguided ANY self-proclaimed 'religious' teachers will be after the
rapture. The reason they were left behind is because they never knew Jesus Christ and therefore weren't raptured.
‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:23. They will claim that since they're
still on earth it couldn't have been the rapture. Likely candidates to say this would be the Pope, Joel Osteen and
many other televangelists. Above all else, read your Bible and trust in Jesus alone. If you need help understanding
passages, look to the teachers who have been raptured or read my list of pastors near the bottom of this guide.
Unfortunately in such a deceptive age I wouldn't count on Christian material (particularly on the rapture) to stay
on the internet for very long, especially after the antichrist rises to power. Try to download as much content like
books, videos and podcasts as possible from trustworthy pastors before its deleted. I have uploaded a tidy
collection of sermons and discussions on a variety of topics including the rapture on my website which is also
backed up in multiple places online. Again, you can download the backups from the 'Next Steps > Christian
Content' section in this guide, or head to my website in the footer of this guide.
Surviving in a Post-Rapture World
Firstly if you haven't already, you should invite Jesus to become your Lord and Saviour if you believe His claims
to be God and that He died and rose again. Without this, the rest of the document is useless to you because it all
points to living for Him and not for yourself. Something which almost everyone else on the planet will be doing

during this chaotic time. Additionally, with all the disasters set to be unleashed on the earth, you probably won't
live to see the end of the tribulation.
The period between the rapture and the second coming will be THE most deceptive time on earth, which is why I
recommend firstly studying the word of God thoroughly right after you become a believer. This will: help water
the seed that God placed in your heart; assure you of the promises He has for you; prove that He is real and can
see the future; and show you that there were many other seemingly hopeless periods in the Bible where He was
still in full control. I also recommend cutting out worldly distractions from your house, particularly the television.
That's not to say you shouldn't keep up to date with what's going on in the world - just set a limit and stick to it
otherwise you will be glued to it with the sheer number of 'Breaking News' headlines as these 'aliens' make contact
and integrate with human life.
If you can, try to meet up regularly with like-minded individuals who are on the same walk as you. You will
definitely need a believing friend or even a whole group in these trying times to keep you on track when you
stumble, and to learn from each other. Try to contact your friends and family members who either once believed
the Bible or who now feel that it was probably the rapture and try to start studying the Bible together.
Once you're established with a small group of spiritually well-equipped believers it's time to start reaching the lost.
Create and print (or manually write) some tracts to distribute in your area. Look for and fill any needs in your
community such as handing out food, helping a neighbour or inviting those without shelter into your home. Pray
at every opportunity for those around you that they may come to know the Lord, that they will be clothed, fed
and sheltered and that they won't be deceived by the world.
This next advice goes against all survival instincts and certainly won't be adopted by most people alive during this
period - especially preppers, but if done for the right reasons you will be rewarded by your Father in heaven.
1. Give at every opportunity to those in need
You might have a single can of beans to feed your family for the day, but if there's another unsaved family out
there with nothing, your gift of a meal will show them that Jesus cares so much for them. Don't forget to tell them
why you're being so generous. Remember that if you die, you know where you're going - others don't, which is
why their survival should come first.
"One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only
suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be
watered." Proverbs 11:24-25 ESV
2. Assist the disabled and outcasts
The Nazi's saw the elderly, infirm, disabled and the Jews as a blight on society and actively tried to eliminate them.
As believers in Christ we are to love, assist and be generous to those who are probably struggling more than
regular people in times of crisis. Go out to those sleeping on the streets and invite them into your home. Cook
meals for those in retirement homes and tell them about your Saviour. Lend a hand to disabled individuals of the
community whenever they need it. Jesus loves them as much as the rich who are currently living in their mansions
protected by armed guards with seemingly infinite money.
3. Get to know your neighbors
Building connections with those around you in a time of utter insanity will be invaluable. You can offer support to
each other, institute a neighbourhood watch, trade what food and other supplies you have, teach them some

survival and preparedness skills, help with repairs and discuss the events of the world. Eventually you may have
the opportunity to share Jesus with them.
4. Bless and protect the Jews
The Jews are God's chosen people and the whole reason for the tribulation is so they can turn their attention back
to Him and realize they put the true and living God to death 2,000 years ago. They will be hunted mercilessly by
the antichrist after the abomination of desolation and will require all the help they can get. If there are any Jews in
your local area you should provide for them, protect them, bless them and love them as Jesus commands. You
may have to run a Corrie Ten Boom style house to keep them safe from the eyes of the enemy. (Read 'The Hiding
Place')
This guide will now continue with the order of events as described in Revelation. Next in the post-rapture order
of events you are likely to see the One World Currency, the One World Government and the One World Religion
begging to take shape:
One World Currency
A currency exclusively used globally is a prerequisite for the one world government. If no one can buy or sell
without the mark, then there must be a one world currency, which as the Bible describes will be a mark (possibly a
chip) either in the right hand or forehead.
A one world currency could be something like Facebook's Libra or a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) but
ultimately the world will ditch the plastic credit cards and put the technology straight into the hand or forehead.
Revelation 13:16-17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in
their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Look For


The continual removal of cash from the planet.
Schemes such as 'Universal Income' implemented.
CBDC's rising to influence.
The crash of uncontrolled currencies such as Bitcoin.
Today, one way that the demonic forces are driving everyone towards the One World Currency is by causing
colossal asset and stock bubbles, the likes of which the world has never seen before. You may have already heard
of this phrase from the World Economic Forum (WEF), 'You will own nothing and be happy'. To achieve this
goal their aim is to inflate these bubbles to unheard sizes in order to bankrupt as many hard working citizens as
they can when they decide the time is right.
They are also promoting 'buy now, pay later' schemes which are currently causing, and will cause many to become
bankrupt after they raise the interest rates in order to combat their own inflation. When the world is plunged into
chaos by the collapsing economy they can swoop in to 'save the day' with Universal Basic Income and eventually
the One World Currency.

Post-Rapture
One World Government
One World Government
As the world grows darker and God's foundational laws are no longer upheld, nations will join together under a
one world government, supposedly to bring peace to the world and to help prevent both man-made and natural
disasters from occurring. The Bible then prophecises that this antichrist will take control of the One World
Government and uses this to his advantage.
This government may sound like it will solve the problems of the world, but will only cause havoc and the
collapse of many nations. Today, we can see this government forming slowly, with the driving forces behind it
being the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, global disasters such as COVID-19 and the need to solve
'climate change'. This government will most likely stem from the United Nations which already has its own army
and goals of controlling the nations of the world all in the name of 'peace'.
This one world government will likely reach its final phase swiftly after a catastrophic, global disaster such as the
rapture, an 'alien visitation', an economic collapse or global war. As described in the Bible this government will
begin with 10 leaders and will slowly be reduced down to 3, not including the antichrist. The antichrist will then
'subdue' the remaining three and become the sole power of the government of the world. This is found in Daniel
7:24-25 with the horns being 'kings'. The ten-nation confederacy is also seen in Daniel’s image of the statue in
Daniel 2:41-42, where he pictures the final world government consisting of ten entities represented by the ten toes
of the statue.
Revelation 13:16-17 describes some sort of satanic mark which will be required in order to buy and sell. This
means anyone who refuses the mark will be unable to buy food, clothing or other necessities of life. No doubt the
majority of people in the world will capitulate to this mark simply to survive, but will ultimately meet their demise
at the return of Jesus. Again, verse 16 makes it clear that this will be a universal system of control where everyone,
the rich and poor, great and the small will bear the mark on their right hand or forehead.


The rising of a global government initially consisting of 10 leaders.
In the tribulation, the antichrist will overpower 7 of the leaders and subdue the last 3
until he is the leader of the planet. (Revelation 17:12)
One World Religion
The One World Religion is described in Revelation 17 as “the great harlot” and will be part of the end-times
scenario. The term harlot is used throughout the Old Testament as a metaphor for false religion. The actual
identity and makeup of the religion has been debated for centuries and has resulted in a number of different views
among Bible commentators and theologians. There are convincing arguments for the one world religion being
Catholicism or some form of religion combining all the major parties.
The most likely world religion is one that reigns in a number of different religions, sects, and isms that are around
today which may also include parts of environmentalism, cosmology, evolution and 'wokeness'. If churches today
have invited these doctrines into the Church, why couldn't the One World Religion? One thing is for sure though,
this 'religion' will be absolutely Blasphemous to the one true God and any adherents should be taught the truth
with the true Word of God.

Further pushes to unite the religions of the world, specifically by the Pope.
Increasing attacks against Bible believing Christians who won't take part in this reunion

A strong alliance between the rising world leader and the leader of the One World
Religion.
Revelation 17 gives us several characteristics of the one world religion. It will dominate all the “peoples and
multitudes and nations and tongues” of the earth, meaning that it will have universal authority, no doubt given by
the antichrist, who rules the world at that time. Verses 2-3 describe the harlot as committing adultery with the
“kings of the earth,” referring to the false religion’s influence among the world’s rulers and influential people.
The reference to being drunk with the wine of her adulteries may refer to those who are drunk with the power
they receive from worshiping the false god of the false religion. Satan frequently ensnares those whose lust for
power drives them away from the worship of the true and living God. The alliances forged by the false religion
will unite church and state like never before.
Revelation 17:6
"I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement."
Verse 6 describes the harlot as being “drunk with the blood of the saints” and the blood of those who testify of
Jesus. Believers who are on the earth during the tribulation will experience the wrath of the harlot and her power
source, the antichrist. Those who oppose the worldwide religion will be killed, and those who refuse to worship
the Antichrist by accepting his mark will be unable to buy and sell, thereby making survival very difficult
(Revelation 13:16-17).
Be sure not to fall into the trap of becoming a member of the "One World Religion". For many reasons this is
likely to be a warped form of Catholicism and this is not how God wants a relationship with you. We are to
adhere only to the God-ordained scriptures and not twist it to fit our own perspective as all the other religions
have done. "Take heed that no one deceives you." Matthew 24:4, Matthew 24:24, Luke 21:8, Mark 13:5, 2
Timothy 3:13-14.
The Catholic church controlled by the Pope is currently trying to reign in all the other denominations of
Christianity as well as the other religions of the world, while claiming that we are all worshiping the same God.
However there is only ONE way to God and that is by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, any other
way is a deception and will only lead you to hell. You need to be a born-again Christian with a life dedicated to
God and a solid belief that Jesus came as the messiah to die for your sins on the cross, then raised to life on the
third day. You don't need a priest to be able to talk to Him, as you have an open connection 24/7.

The Attempted Invasion of Israel
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we can be saved.
The Attempted Invasion of Israel
Ezekiel 38 and 39 say that Russia (Magog), Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Libya and Syria will launch a combined surprise
attack against Israel to claim their spoils, which is likely to be their vast reserves of natural resources such as
minerals, gas, oil, technology, gold and even water. However, God will destroy these armies in the mountains of
Israel and will rain fire on Russia and those who 'dwell securely in the isles'. This event will likely occur after the
destruction of Damascus and even the rapture.
This invasion will likely speed up the need for a world saviour (the coming 'antichrist') to solve the world's turmoil
and wars, unless it's the antichrist that launches this attack himself at the mid-point of the tribulation.

Ezekiel 38 and 39 foretells a massive future invasion of Israel by the armed forces of six nations. Five of those
nations are identified in 38:5-6 with the names they had in Ezekiel's time. The first nation, Persia, is now the
modern state of Iran. The second nation, Ethiopia, isn't the same as modern Ethiopia but is currently known as
Sudan. The third nation, Libya, the western neighbour of Egypt, is also an Islamic nation today.
'The people of the fourth nation, Gomer, were also known as the Cimmerians. They lived north of the Caucasus
Mountains in Eastern Europe. The people of the fifth nation, Togarmah, settled in Cappadocia, now eastern
Turkey.

Post-Rapture
The Attempted Invasion of Israel
All of these nations except for Russia and Turkey are currently ruled by Islamic fundamentalist governments who
have openly declared their commitment to the annihilation of Israel. However the present government of Turkey
is being threatened by Islamic fundamentalists.
As a result, some leaders fear that Turkey could become another Iran. If that happens, all the nations named in
Ezekiel 38:5-6 will be characterized by a militant Islamic hatred of Israel.
The five nations of Ezekiel 38:5-6 will be led by a sixth. God gave three identifying marks for that leader. The
leader is identified as "the chief prince" or ruler "of Meshech and Tubal" (Ezekiel. 38:2; 39:1). This group settled
in the area of Armenia, "where the borders of Russia, Iran and Turkey converge."
The people of Tubal were located in the central part of Turkey immediately west of Togarmah. Gog’s location is
"the north parts" (38:15; 39:2). The Hebrew word translated "parts" means "extreme or uttermost parts." Since
Ezekiel was a Hebrew prophet, he would refer to geographical locations from the vantage point of his homeland.
Thus, his statement in 38:15 indicates that when Gog leads the six-nation attack against Israel, he will come from
his location in the extreme or uttermost parts directly north of Israel.
From what has been described, it appears that Russia will lead the invasion against Israel as foretold in Ezekiel 3839. Their driving force is initiated by God Himself through the lure of incredible wealth, resources and for the
Islamists, the chance to finally obliterate Israel. This is described in verse 4 where God proclaims that "I will turn
you around and put hooks into your jaws".
When will it occur?
In Ezekiel 38:8, 16, God declared that this future invasion of Israel would take place "in the latter years" and
"latter days". That would be after Israel has been regathered from the nations to its homeland and feels so safe
and secure that it will have no defences of its own (vv. 8, 11-12, 14). There has been an amazing regathering of
Israel to its homeland since its re-establishment as a nation state in 1948, but certainly Israel does not feel so safe
and secure there today that it has no defences of its own. Today it perpetually has to stay on high alert to shoot
down the rockets, missiles and terrorist attacks which threaten them on a daily basis.
Since the Scriptures indicate that there will be no warfare during the future reign of the Messiah (Ps. 72:7; Isa. 9:67; Mic. 4:3-4), this invasion cannot take place during the Millennium. Is there any time between now and the
Millennium when Israel will feel so safe and secure that it will not maintain its defences? It appears so.
According to Daniel 9:27, at the very beginning of the future seven-year Tribulation period, the Antichrist will
enforce a strong covenant with Israel. It will so strongly bind Israel to the Antichrist that he will regard that nation
as an extension of himself and his empire in the Middle East. As a result, through that covenant, the Antichrist
will guarantee Israel's national security. Israel will feel so safe and secure that it will discontinue the costly burden
of maintaining its defences.
This feeling of security will not last long, however. In the middle of the Tribulation, the Antichrist will begin to
desolate Israel (Dan. 9:27; Mt. 24:15-21); thus, the nation will feel safe and secure only during the first half of the
seven-year Tribulation. It appears then, that the invasion of Israel by Russia and its Islamic allies will take place
during the first half of the Tribulation, perhaps shortly before its midpoint. The invaders will believe that since
Israel has let down its military guard, it will be their opportune time to strike and plunder its resources (Ezek.
38:10-13). As a result, they will launch such a large invasion force that it will seem like a massive cloud covering
the land (38:9, 15-16).
God’s initial action will be to pull these invaders into Israel for His own sovereign purpose (38:4, 16; 39:2). When
they attack, His attitude toward them will be characterized by fury, jealousy, and fiery wrath (38:18-19). He will

The Rise of the Antichrist
then actively intervene to destroy the invading force through a fierce earthquake, landslides, pestilence, excessive
rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone (38:19-22).
The destruction of the invading army will be so extensive that the mountains and open fields of Israel and a valley
near the Dead Sea will be congested with corpses. God will bring fowl and beasts to eat many of them. It will take
Israel seven months to bury the remainder of the dead and seven years to consume their weapons (39:3-5, 9-20).
If this invasion takes place shortly before the middle of the Tribulation, this destruction of weapons will continue
into the early part of the Millennium.
God's purpose for all of this will be to glorify Himself before Israel and all the nations—to so impress them with
His existence and power that He will have life changing influence on them (38:16, 23; 39:7, 13, 21-22). No doubt
the fulfilment of the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy will be one of the means through which God will bring people of
that time to Himself.
Taking a closer look at the verse in Ezekiel 39:6:
“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they
shall know that I am the Lord.”
Ezekiel 39:6
So who exactly are those who dwell 'securely', or 'in false confidence' in the isles? There are a couple of
contenders, but we can't really know until the invasion is about to fulfil itself. The closer we are to fulfilment, the
more pieces are in place and the more clearly we can see how it will play out.
Chuck Missler believes God will rain down meteors on America as part of an overdue judgement. Other scholars
believe its representative of an exchange of ICBMs or other long range weapons between countries. Personally I
believe it will be meteorites raining down on the region of Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Australia and New
Zealand due to being so far out from the main world stage that they live 'carelessly', oblivious and inattentive to
conflict in the other parts of the world. We can only wait and see.
The Rise of the Antichrist
Now that the rapture has occurred there's no reason why the antichrist can't show his face on the global stage and
start his final rise to power as he may already be in a position of minor power. (Revelation 13:1-8)

The antichrist will begin by rising up among the ten leaders of the new world order (the global government).
Seven of them will drop out and he will subdue the last three. (Revelation 17:12) The world will 'marvel' and be
amazed by the antichrist, at the ideas he puts forward and the actions he takes, as this will certainly be a very
charismatic, intelligent and yet deceitful man. There's also the possibility he might be an alien...
Revelation 13:1-8
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

The Rise of the Antichrist
Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his
mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great
authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly
wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the
dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like
the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” And he was given a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and
those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to
overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who
dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The Bible even includes a physical description of the antichrist:
Zechariah 11:17
“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who leaves the flock! A sword shall be against his arm and
against his right eye; His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally
blinded.”
Revelation 13:3
"And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was
healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the beast."
Revelation 17:12-13
“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they
receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will
give their power and authority to the beast.
These verses describe that there will be a one world government comprised of 10 leaders not including the
antichrist.
Daniel 7:24
The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after
them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.
Here the Bible describes that the antichrist will rise to power amongst the other 10 world leaders and will
eventually subdue the remaining 3 so that he becomes the sole leader of the planet. It's also interesting to note
that the phrase "He shall be different from the first ones" could imply that he is not of this world...
The Rise of the False Prophet

Post-Rapture
The Bema Seat Judgement
The false prophet is a religious leader and the 'beast which rises from the earth' who performs great miracles and
causes people to worship and follow the antichrist - the beast that rises from the water in the second half of the
tribulation. (Revelation 13:11-18) The False Prophet will be able to rain fire down from the sky on command;
however this power is from the devil and not God.
He uses these demonic abilities to deceive many and will cause people to believe that the first 'beast' (the
antichrist) is in fact the messiah of the Jews, and a god to the gentiles. The false prophet may already have a
powerful position when the rapture occurs (such as the Pope), and will ally themself with the antichrist to gain
even more power.
Revelation 13:11-14
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and
spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and
causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which
he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an
image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived."
Do not be deceived by the false prophet who performs wondrous signs, as he will lead you down the path of
death and away from Jesus Christ. However there will also be two witnesses sent by God who will preach His
word during the first half of the tribulation and will be able to cast plagues on the earth as often as they like.
Although the antichrist will have them killed at the midpoint of the tribulation, they will be resurrected by God.
But more on them further below.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.
There will be many who claim to be the Messiah and many will claim to have the answers for a troubled world. In
Matthew 24, Jesus gave a warning specifically for our generation. In this passage Jesus, warns us that false
prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. These false prophets
(not the two sent by God) in the tribulation aren't working with sleight of hand illusions but have actual demonic
powers.
You must be on guard and ask yourself who these sinister prophets and messiahs are, and where they are trying to
lead you. The Bible warns us that these are no ordinary men. In the end times, people will be crying desperately
for leaders to deliver them from the turmoil, and they will seek mystics and religious leaders who claim to have
deeper knowledge about the events that have transpired.
The Bema Seat Judgement
Meanwhile, in heaven after the rapture, Christians will come before the Judgment Seat of Christ otherwise known
as the "Bema Seat". The purpose of this seat is to examine a Christian's life. The Bible tells us, “For we must all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body,
according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The term used here refers to a

worrying over every small things we've ever done, or thoughtless sin we have committed. It’s a time of reward,
not punishment.
'"Our present lives affect what will happen at the Judgment Seat
of Christ."
Though we won’t be condemned for our sins, our present lives do affect what will happen at the Judgment Seat of
Christ. It’s important that we pay attention to the Bible’s prophetic passages and study God’s plan for the future.
Though we don’t know the date, time or hour of the Rapture, we can be cognizant of all that is going on around
us so that we are living the life God intended for us in Christ. When we study and understand the Rapture, we will
be better prepared for what is to come. Christians should be on guard, watching and praying until the day of the
Lord.
Luke 21:34-36
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on
all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you
may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of Man.”
Reconstruction of Babylon
At some point before, or in the tribulation, the city of Babylon will be built and serve as the residence of the
antichrist. It will likely take many years to construct and therefore means it could be started well before the
tribulation begins. Babylon will likely be constructed around Al-Hillah in Iraq where the previous Babylon Empire
was located. To find it, you can also paste the coordinates to the right into a map.

The Tribulation Overview
Rebuilding the 3rd Temple
The Tribulation Overview
The tribulation is a 7 year period of time initiated by a covenant (a peace treaty) between Israel and the current
world leader - known as the antichrist. During this period he allows the Jews to rebuild their temple, on or around
the spot where the Dome of the Rock currently stands. The tribulation can only begin after the rapture takes place
since God's judgement isn't meant for His church.
The first half of the tribulation is a time of false peace among men where the world will seem to be improving. All
the while the planet is being subject to the wrath of God in the form of seals and trumpets. The second half of the
tribulation is a time when the antichrist claims to be God and attempts to kill anyone who opposes him while the
earth is also being subject to the 'bowls' of God's wrath.

from God to prevent rain from falling, the ability to turn water to blood and power to strike the earth with
plagues whenever they want. Anyone who tries to harm them will be killed by fire proceeding from their mouths.

Revelation Summary
Below is a summary of God's judgements on earth, in the form of the seals, trumpets and bowls found
throughout Revelation. These judgements can only take place in the tribulation, and the tribulation can only begin
once the church is removed from the earth - hence the pre-tribulation rapture. The seals and trumpets most likely
occur in the first half of the tribulation and the bowls probably take place in the second half.
This section doesn't include non-seal events such as the sealing of the 144,000. For those, view the diagram at the

I recommend familiarising yourself with the plagues of Egypt as there's a very strong link between the plagues and

Revelation Summary
The Seals
The 7 seals of God's judgement.
The seal judgements begin when the covenant with Israel is formalised by the antichrist and ends after about 1.75
years into the tribulation. The seals - (unlike some of the trumpets and bowls) will likely continue through the
entirety of the tribulation, so for seal 2 - wars will continually be fought through the tribulation, and in seal 3 famine and hyperinflation will be ongoing as per the layout in my Revelation Timeline diagram. Contrary to what
those opposed to God may think - a world without Christians (and the restrainer) will be the most catastrophic
time in the history of the planet.
The picture above is a depiction of the four horsemen of the apocalypse which represent the first four seals.
Summarised Seal Survival Tips
Throughout the seal judgements there's a common thread of man-made disasters such as the
conquering antichrist in the 1st seal, the continual wars in the 2nd seal, the hyperinflation and
scarcity of food in the 3rd seal and the diseases and plagues in the 4th seal. Overall these
primarily affect the day to day working of society, so expect the supply chains to quickly fail due
to a lack of workers who have been drafted to war, killed or fallen ill. Aim to grow your own
food, both for your own household and enough to share with others. Additionally try to
preserve it as much as possible for the increasingly difficult times ahead. Seek ways to purify
your own water and reinforce your residence to help protect against stray bullets and missiles.

The Seals
1st Seal
1st Seal
The First Seal - (The Conqueror) The White Horse
The first seal sets loose a rider on a white horse that comes to conquer nations. The rider is not Jesus because He
is the one opening the seal therefore He cannot be part of the seal as well. The rider is the antichrist who comes
to earth to deceive the nations and proclaim that he is Christ.
The riding of a white horse is evidence that the antichrists aim is deception to fool people into believing that he is
God. Some readers are confused by this but it only takes a little further reading about the type of person this is to
come to the conclusion that he isn't Jesus. Jesus comes on a white horse in Revelation 19:11 to claim His throne.
(See below) This seal will begin as soon as the covenant with Israel is signed.

A false 'saviour' who conquers nations.
Someone with a withered arm and a blinded right eye.
Someone who creates 'peace' and solves the world's problems with seeming ease.
A very suave and charismatic individual.
He will confirm a covenant with Israel to allow the 3rd temple to be built.
He mandates that everyone receives a mark on their forehead or right hand.
He may not be human.
Revelation 6:1-2
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures
saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He
who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to
conquer."
Compare that to the below, when Jesus actually returns:
Revelation 19:11-13, 16
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame
of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except
Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of
God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS."
The antichrist will create a false peace by using violence and destroying those peoples and nations who don't align
with his ideals. His reign and control over the world will be one achieved by fear and coercion. He will remain on
earth for the entire duration of the tribulation, after which he is thrown into the lake of fire at the second coming
of Jesus. This individual will be extremely suave, intelligent and charismatic albeit having some kind of battle

injury on his arm and right eye. The 'deadly wound' he has sustained is one that people would normally die from,
however he survived and all that remains is scarring or some kind of disfigurement.
How did he receive this deadly injury? The only option that the Bible has left open is that it's some kind of battle
wound. But what battle? Is this an earthly battle or a heavenly battle? That question might be more easily
answered once the individual has been revealed.
I cannot emphasize enough that you should never take the mark of the beast on your right hand or forehead. If
you do, you've allied yourself with the devil himself and you will certainly be going to hell when Jesus returns, or
when you die, which may be soon considering the judgements that are coming.
Not to mention that the first bowl says that all those with this mark will get painful and putrid sores all over their
bodies. You may not be able to buy anything but if you commit yourself to Jesus and live for Him, you will be
with Him for eternity in heaven. To clarify, the mark of the beast is most likely enforced 3.5 years into the
covenant with Israel, when the antichrist declares himself as god.
Again, here's the physical characteristics of the antichrist if you missed it above:
Zechariah 11:17
“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who leaves the flock! A sword shall be against his arm and
against his right eye; His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally
blinded.”
Revelation 13:3
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:16-18
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their
right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has
understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is
666.
So this is a man who has seen battle or conflict and has wounds on his arm and his right eye.
Survival Tips
Do not be deceived by this individual or believe anything he says. His only goal is to rule the
world and be worshipped by man. I believe that COVID-19 was the testing grounds for global
fifth-generational warfare, designed to alter people's mindset to prepare them for this coming
'New World Order' and the satanic and Godless society they are fabricating. Throughout the
tribulation the separation of fact and fiction is going to get increasingly blurry as these tools of
mass disillusionment and control become even more mainstream. Trust only the Word of God
in all things. Question everything you're told by others and the media and stay alert to your
surroundings.

the world is consumed by war. This war is likely to be deemed 'World War 3' (or 4) by those around the globe.
This war will be nothing like previous wars... World War 2 was fought with relatively low-tech equipment

In addition you should avoid military bases, hospitals, airfields, docks, farmland and utilities such

called to do so) you could hang around and use this as an opportunity to hand out food while
sharing the gospel.

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I

heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a
denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Typically a quart of wheat is the minimum amount that someone requires to survive each day, and the price shows
us that it costs 8 to 10 times more than normal. So a $4 USD loaf of bread today (in 2019) would cost around $32
USD. This verse may not reflect actual prices, but it could just mean that someone will work all day and come
home with only enough to feed themself for a single day. If you're reading this ahead of time, it would be wise to

exactly what you require to stay alive as per Matthew 6:25-34, Proverbs 10:3 and many other verses, so don't go
overboard.
There could also be global natural disasters which destroy huge areas of crops and livestock across the globe, with
the possibility of secondary consequences such as locust swarms which rise from flooded areas. Additionally,
communistic governments may pay farmers to till over their crops or sabotage food facilities like they did in the
Great Depression and are currently doing through America in April 2022.
Survival Tips
It would be wise to start growing your own food long before this seal is triggered so you can live
off your crops while blessing others with fresh food. Learn how to preserve food via different
methods to help get you through the cold months. Find ways to stretch your food as much as
possible and learn to go without every second day if possible. Share what you have with those in
need and tell them about Jesus. Try to forage wild edibles in your local area and learn what
'weeds' you can eat. Be sure to positively identify any unknown edibles before you consume
them, if you're unsure you can initiate the survival edibility test.

The Seals
4th Seal
The fourth seal releases death and hell to kill a quarter of the earth with hunger, disease and beasts of the earth.
People globally will go hungry and perish due to a lack of crops, food and from the beasts of the earth. This seal is
the logical next step after the 'famine' seal since food prices will be unaffordable, the result would be deaths by the
millions due to starvation.
This seal may begin about 8-9 months into the tribulation.

Revelation 6:7-8
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come
and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill
with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Keep in mind that these 'beasts of the earth' may not necessarily be large animals such as bulls and snakes, but
could also be microscopic creatures such as bacteria and viruses. When the famine and inflation comes in this seal,
people likely won't be able to afford common hygiene items and will therefore make the effects of this seal worse.
COVID-19 is a trivial pandemic that shouldn't even be compared to real disasters such as the 1918 Spanish flu
which infected a third of the world's population (500mil of 1.5 billion people) with a death rate of 14% for
whoever contracted the virus. COVID-19's death rate is around 0.01%-0.05%, but this is being concealed under
the guise of population control and power. The point is that this seal will utterly devastate the planet and
considering that people will be so over lockdowns and isolation by then, this could spread much quicker than
anticipated. Assuming the population of the world will be about 8 billion, which means 2 billion will die.
It's possible that these 2 billion deaths could be related to the COVID-19 vaccinations. Upon re-exposure to a
wild coronavirus after taking a COVID vaccine, a 'cytokine storm' effect may occur causing massive internal
trauma killing the individual quickly. Since over a quarter of the population of the world has taken this selfproclaimed 'vaccine' people are likely to die by the millions.
Survival Tips
These plagues are likely to be much deadlier than anything experienced on earth before, don't
treat them lightly. Keep fit, eat healthily if possible and get lots of sun. Give what food you have
to the lost so you can be a light in these dark days and lead people to the Lord. Remember that
you're already saved and you know where you're going when you die - everyone else doesn't.

The Seals
6th Seal
A Great Earthquake
There's a lot to deconstruct in this seal. Firstly a great earthquake is fairly straightforward; it's a quake that has a
higher magnitude than what the world is typically used to, which could be anything from magnitude 8 to 11.
Earthquakes always have an epicentre which could hit almost anywhere on earth, but will most likely occur on a
plate boundary. For any large earthquake there are bound to be aftershocks of diminishing size at the epicentre
and along the plate boundaries which may continue to travel around the globe as its energy is expended.
A Black Sun
Secondly 'the sun becomes as black as sackcloth of hair' could mean the sun turns black in the same way you turn
down the brightness of an item in image editing programs, rendering it black. True black implies that there's no
light being reflected off it, but being the sun, it gives off light which brings us to our first contradiction, so this
option couldn't be accurate.
It could also mean that only the rays from the sun that are directed toward the earth can't be seen, rendering the
sun black. This could be achieved by a massive object such as a rogue planet passing between the sun and the
earth. From earth this would make the sun look black as you would be able to see the sun's corona with a large
black circle in the middle.
A planet-wide black sun has never occurred that we know of and would certainly be a shock to all those on the
planet, particularly if it comes as a surprise. Generally it's the moon which passes between the sun and the earth
giving us a total eclipse for a tiny slice of earth. This seems like the most plausible option and will probably cause
the most fear as you will be able to see how black the sun is.
The duration of this blackened sun isn't permanent either, because the sun is darkened in the 4th trumpet which
means it has to reset at some point.
The Blood Moon
When the earth is somewhere between the sun and the moon, the moon can glow red due to scattering the light
of all other colours by earth's atmosphere. That's the simple part; however we have to remember that the sun will
be 'black' at the same time. This is where the 'rogue planet' comes in again.
If a rogue planet is lined up perfectly between the sun and the earth and the earth is 'mostly' casting a shadow on
the moon, the sun can be black and the moon would appear twice as red as a normal blood moon (albeit half as
bright) due to the extra filtering of colours from the rogue planet in addition to the earth. Don't rule out the ability
for God to simply turn the moon red by His own power - He turned the Nile to blood, and He can do it again!
The Stars Fall to Earth
The stars falling to earth is a little harder to explain. Throughout the Bible stars are referred to as angels such as
when Satan draws a third of the stars of heaven (Revelation 12:4). This passage might be referring to demons
falling from heaven to earth. We know it couldn't mean literal stars falling to earth because they're balls of flaming
gas which would eliminate all life on earth if even one came too close to us. It also can't mean stars falling literally
because in the 4th trumpet the stars become darkened, hence they are still around and in their place. So the most
likely interpretation could be that it's meteors falling from space into earth's atmosphere, showing up as bright
glowing streaks.
The Sky Recedes
This is probably the hardest to explain. Firstly for the sky to be rolled up like a scroll you need a higher dimension,
a fourth dimension. We have proven there are quite a few higher dimensions out there and that's all we need for

6th Seal
this to work. God Himself could roll up our universe, making it smaller. What this looks like in person, I have
absolutely no idea, except perhaps the most distant galaxies and stars disappearing as if they 'fall to earth'.
Every Island and Mountain Moves
Every island and mountain will move from their place. This is another tricky one because it doesn't say explicitly
that it's caused by the earthquake which also happens in this seal. Something has to shake the entire earth which
could either be the earthquake or the sky receding.
If it's the earthquake, the magnitude would have to be in the range of 11-12 to be felt 'strongly' all over the planet.
Keep in mind that 1 extra unit on the Richter scale equals 10x the amount of shaking and 33x the amount of
energy released. The area at the epicentre of the earthquake would be absolutely decimated for thousands of
kilometres to be able to shake the other side of the planet. This leads me to believe that the receding sky is the
cause of the shaking due to the fact that it's part of the same verse. Unfortunately I have no idea how the sky can
shake... perhaps in the same way that the earth shakes on land, so too can space 'shake' or quiver.
Survival Tips
Since you know a great global earthquake is coming sometime after effects of the 4th seal, try
not to spend long periods of time in built up cities or unstable buildings since they may collapse.
Remember that earthquakes always have aftershocks, some being almost as powerful as the
original which could further destabilize structures. Stay away from the shorelines due to the
potential for tsunami's to destroy a good few miles inland around the epicenter. Additionally
watch out for volcanic activity which can often precede and follow large quakes. A darkened sun
is likely to cause a drop in the temperature on earth which in turn will make it more difficult to
grow food, therefore grow what you can beforehand and preserve it.

The Trumpets
The 7 trumpets of God's judgement
The trumpet judgements begin approximately 1.75 years into the tribulation and end around the 3.5 year mark just
before the abomination of desolation. They are often called the 'judgements of the thirds' since most of them
affect one third of the earth, whereas the bowls affect the entire earth. Trumpets are often used as a warning
throughout scripture and the same seems to apply here since the bowl judgements are much more devastating
than the trumpets.
Summarised Trumpet Survival Tips
Throughout the trumpet judgements there's a common theme where the sun is blocked or
darkened likely leading to failing crops and colder temperatures across the planet. This occurs in
the 1st Trumpet due to widespread smoke, the 4th trumpet due to the sun being darkened
supernaturally and the 5th trumpet due to either demons or a massive volcano. Since these
events follow each other you should be ready to deal with a continual lack of sunlight and colder
temperatures than normal.
There are also multiple judgements which affect the oceans, rivers and springs from this point
on, so obtaining potable water will be much more difficult. As always, try to buy, hunt, forage
and grow as much food as possible and preserve it for the difficult times ahead - and to share
with the lost. When the trumpets are over the mark of the beast will be unleashed so you won't
be able to purchase anything (not that there would be much on the shelves anyway), you will
also be hunted relentlessly for your faith, so stock up what you can.

The Trumpets
1st Trumpet
The first trumpet seems to describe meteorites entering earth's atmosphere. These meteors will have to be large
enough to make contact with the ground to start fires, while also being able to hit every nation on earth since all
the grass is burnt up. It's hard to explain how the grass will be burnt up, while also only burning a third of the
trees.
Then there's the detail that it also hails. Hail is composed of water which would eventually have to melt. Wouldn't
this have the reverse effect and extinguish the burning grass? I'm not sure how blood could be mingled with all of
it and what effects that would have on the earth. If there's anything you should be grateful for in the tribulation
it's that you get to see God's word fulfil itself, seeing exactly what He means by each of the prophecies.
Even though the Bible explicitly says that all grass will be burnt up, this also can be expanded to mean all
vegetation. Fire isn't very picky what it consumes and therefore most crops, plants and fields will be destroyed
too. Because of how widespread these fires will be, there will be a constant blanket of smoke in the atmosphere
which will reduce the penetration of the sun to the surface. This will make it harder to grow food and will also
likely lower temperatures across the planet.
Since all the green grass will be burnt up Australians will have nothing to fear since our grass is always brown.
(Haha, sorry I had to add that one)
Survival Tips
Try to avoid grassy plains, areas with excessive leaf litter and forests during this period. If you
live remotely, store up water to be able to extinguish any fires which may threaten your house.
Have an escape plan in the event of an oncoming grass or forest fire such as moving to a lake
until it passes. Clean up anything that can be burnt from your property and establish a burnproof ring of about 30m+ (100ft) wide around your house and anything you don't want
destroyed. If you live in a cold climate, stock up on firewood and store it appropriately
(fireproofed), because it will be very hard to get after this trumpet. Watch out for the falling
meteorites.
Food will also become scarce and even more expensive than it already is due to the burnt crops,
the smoke cutting down the sunlight and the animals which die in the fires. If you have
electricity, buy some LED grow-lights to replace the sun and to bolster your plants growth in
these tough times. There are more judgements coming which affect the sun so craft some kind
of metal fireproof shield to hold above yourself to protect from the cinders and hail if you need
to move around outdoors. Don't forget to pray for protection.

Sea Meteor Impact
This judgement being a meteor is important to note because it says a third of all ships will be destroyed. The
destruction of so many ships can only occur from a huge tsunami overturning and sinking them. For
approximately one third of all ships on earth to be destroyed by a tsunami in 2022 (about 18,000 vessels), requires
it to either strike the North Pacific Ocean or the North Atlantic Ocean. Depending on the size of the meteor
some boats further from the impact zone may be shaken violently but not destroyed.
To further complicate matters, generally objects hurtling towards earth are monitored by space agencies prior to
impact and will (hopefully) warn the public so people can evacuate. This means that either the meteor somehow
surprises everyone on earth, or they wilfully hide the fact it's coming.

density map to see the most common routes and then clicking 'playback' to remove the current ship markers.
Your guess to where it will strike is as good as mine.
If it strikes the North Pacific Ocean, the tsunami will cover more sea than anywhere else. Countries such as:
America, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Japan, China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand are
likely to experience the catastrophic effects of the wave striking the mainland.
If it strikes the North Atlantic Ocean, the tsunami will cover less ground than the Pacific but the Atlantic contains
more sea traffic. Countries such as: America, Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Brazil, Mauritania, Senegal,

2nd Trumpet
Western Sahara, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland, England, Iceland and Greenland are likely to
experience the catastrophic effects of the wave striking the mainland.
The countries in both these lists are America and Canada, so be prepared if you live on the shore in either of
them. Also remember that God works in mysterious ways and it may still strike the unlikeliest of seas like the
Indian Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea, so search the scriptures. (Acts 17:11)
The different types of ships sailing the ocean today include: Military Vessels, Cargo Vessels, Tankers, Passenger
Vessels, High Speed Craft, Tugs, Fishing Ships and Pleasure Craft (Cruisers). If the ships only carrying people are
destroyed, people will die, but if one of the oil tankers or cargo ships sinks oil and debris will pollute the ocean
harming all types of ocean dwelling animals. This could be part of the reason why 1/3 of ocean dwelling creatures
perish, alongside whatever blood-like compounds were in the meteor which leach into the water - further killing
sea life.
Blood
The more literally we interpret the Bible; it seems the more it makes sense, therefore the blood is therefore likely
to be real blood (along with every other blood-related judgement in Revelation). An important factor to note is
that in Exodus when the waters were turned to blood, it included small ponds and lakes which were separated
from the main body. The waters stunk and those in Egypt disdainfully drank the water.
Survival Tips
Stay off boats for a while. Watch out for a massive tsunami if you live on the coast of the Pacific
or Atlantic ocean. Get to higher ground and at least 30kms (31mi) inland if you confirm the
impact site has a direct oceanic line of sight to your location. Ideally you want to get as far away
from low lying land as possible and in the best case scenario up a mountain which is at least
300m (984 ft.) above sea level, or 500m (1,640 ft.) above sea level if you're on the coast. The
further inland you go the less altitude you need to be to be safe.
If you're reading this before it happens, create an evacuation plan early just in case it affects you.
Tsunamis travel about 700 km/h (500 mph) so calculate your distance to find out how much
time you have to evacuate, keeping in mind that you may have received the impact notification
late. If you live on a tiny island in either the Pacific or Atlantic such as Hawaii - I would leave for
the mainland if possible unless you have a mountain over 1.5km (4,921 ft.) tall which you can
flee to. Seafood will also become rare after this trumpet since 1/3 of all sea life will now be dead,
so you may have to adapt your lifestyle if you're fishing for food.

Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it

third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was
made bitter."
Wormwood
Like the second trumpet this seems to be another meteor falling from space. It's hard to understand how this
'meteor' can only land on rivers and especially springs - because springs come from underground and the meteor
would have to break up into smaller pieces long before impact to contaminate 1/3 of the world’s rivers. However
demons are often called 'stars' throughout the Bible and this demon's name could be 'Wormwood'. Meteors
generally don't have names (which aren't scientific concatenations of letters and numbers) and this one is also
capitalised thus making it more likely to be a person rather than a named space object. Other uses of the word
'wormwood' in scripture refers to the 'bitterness' or poisoning of the waters and thus isn't capitalised, so it's likely
to be Wormwood the demon who poisons the rivers and streams.
Unlike the previous trumpet there doesn't seem to be any visual changes to the water which explains why so many
people die. We don't know exactly how many die from the water but it could potentially be millions. I can't

ascertain what the poison is and whether or not it can be filtered out by modern purification methods, so it's best
to avoid drinking from rivers and springs.
Survival Tips
It seems there's no visual way to verify whether a water source is poisoned or not, and it's not
known whether the toxin can be filtered out of the water supply commercially or with hand
purifiers. Therefore it would be best to store as much water as possible prior to this judgement
and watch the news until they identify the poison.
If you didn't store any water and aren't sure whether a source is safe or not - pray about it and
use the survival edibility testing method to ascertain whether it's safe or not by slowly increasing
the amount you drink over many hours and watching for any adverse reactions. Generally,
distilling water is a safe way to remove all pathogens - including from seawater, although it's
quite slow to achieve any decent amounts.

4th Trumpet
The fourth trumpet strikes 1/3 of the sun, 1/3 of the moon and 1/3 of the stars so that a third of them was
darkened. Days are 1/3 shorter.
The fourth trumpet should occur about 3.5 years into the tribulation.

Days are 1/3 shorter
1/3 of the sun is dark
1/3 of the moon is dark
1/3 stars are dark
Revelation 8:12
Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a
third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and
likewise the night.
Darkened Sun, Moon and Stars
This trumpet is also difficult to try and comprehend. Keep in mind that in the 6th seal, the sky receded. It's very
likely that the sky still remains 'rolled up' even partially. This trumpet could be a further progression of the
'receding' universe. However for this scripture to be noteworthy the events can't already be happening, therefore
the blackened sun, the blood moon and the stars should have returned to their regular states since then. An
example is that in seal 6 the stars fell to earth, but now in this trumpet the stars seem to be back in their places.
This rules out anything actually happening to the stars back in seal 6 and probably means there's more happening
than meets the eye.
A third of the sun 'was struck' or 'smitten' (ἐπλήγη) and will be 'darkened' (σκοτισθῇ). Could this refer to the total
time the sun is shining? Such as going from shining 24 hours a day to 16 hours a day by turning on and off like a
light? If this were true it could only apply to one side of the planet (such as Israel). Also this method couldn't
easily be accomplished when looking into the physics of it and doesn't align with scripture very well.
So perhaps 1/3 of the sun is blocked for the duration of the trumpet in the same way eclipses occur. This could
be achieved by a slow rogue planet passing between the earth and the sun, blocking up to a third of it for an
extended time. This doesn't seem likely at all since the planet would have to be absolutely massive to block a
whole third of the sun based on its proximity to earth.
The last option is that the entire suns intensity is diminished by a third or 33.3%. This is the most likely option as
the Bible seems to imply that the whole sun will be darkened equally on its surface by a third. Joel 2:10 (right)
sheds a bit more 'light' on this trumpet which seems to be referring to this event. Overall we can see that
scriptures refer to a reduction in the brightness of the sun, moon and stars by about 33.3%, 24 hours a day for the
duration of this trumpet.
Joel 2:10
The Rapture Survival Guide

www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
The Trumpets
4th Trumpet
"The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun
and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness."
Days are 1/3 Shorter
To find some answers for the passage "A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night" we have to look
deeper into the reason for the tribulation, which is to bring Israel to salvation. This could be the key to explaining
why a third of the day did not shine and likewise [became] a third of the night, because it could only apply to
Israel. This is just my interpretation but Israel could have 1/3 less sun on an average day (becoming 8 hours) and
somewhere else on the exact opposite side of the world (the pacific ocean) will have 1/3 more sun (becoming 16
hours), hence potentially explaining the verse.
Another possibility to consider is that the previous trumpet meteors (the 2nd trumpet in particular) could have
impacted earth so hard that its rotation speed increased up by 1/3, making days a third shorter, and when
combined with the 1/3 dimmed sun could explain both passages together.
The last option I will present is that days are 1/3 'shorter' simply because there's less sunlight making it to earth,
thus the sky will get darker quicker after it disappears below the horizon.
To sum up, it looks like the sun, moon and stars will be 33.3% (1/3) dimmer and due to the darkened sun the
daylight will be gone 1/3 sooner than it would normally.
During the period of the darkened sun, it doesn't mean that the sun's heat will also be reduced by the same third,
but there's always the chance that it will be. If this happens then we're looking at a new mini ice age where crops
will die and weather phenomena will become extreme.
Survival Tips
Since the sun is darkened again expect colder weather and poor performance for crops. By now
the agriculture industry will be on its knees considering that in the first trumpet all vegetation
was burnt up worldwide. If you're reading this in advance, stock up on long life food for you
and those around you. Celestial navigation will be much more difficult during this period. Have
some firewood and warm weather clothes stocked up in case the weather takes a turn.

power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass
of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of
God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them
for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In
those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee
from them.
The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of
something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women’s
hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron,
and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into
battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to
hurt men five months. And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose
name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places."
Ephesians 6:12
Smoke Fills the Air
The smoke can't be a metaphor for demons because demons are called locusts in this passage. The smoke is a
separate entity. The phrasing of verse 2 seems to imply that the smoke can visibly be seen and it actually blocks
the sun and fills the air densely. Due to this I believe it's referring to a volcanic eruption - or multiple eruptions,
particularly a VEI-8 or VEI-9 supervolcano which can cover HUGE areas with tephra, smoke and ash. A VEI-7
volcano projects at least 100km³ of tephra which can fall at around 1,300 kilometres away (2,600 km Ø
(diameter)). Keeping this proportion, a VEI-8 would project at least 1,000km³ of tephra which can probably fall
between 5,000-7,000 km (10k-14k km Ø) away, covering about half of the planet in various depths of ash.
Whatever causes it, the effects of the smoke blocking the sun would be devastating to all crops, livestock and
humans. There's no doubt that it would have a dramatic cooling effect planet-wide, and again, like the 4th trumpet
above will cause destructive blizzards and other natural disasters.
The Locusts' Command
The locusts represent demons released from the bottomless pit which will have the power to torment people who
do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. We know that 144,000 people from the tribes of Israel are sealed,
but I'm not sure if they can harm Christians or not.
The Rapture Survival Guide
79
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG

As the locusts were commanded not to harm the grass, the trees, or any green thing implies they have the capacity
to do so, but not the authority. Only real locusts have a built-in mechanism requiring them to consume flora,
trees, weeds and grass. However they can't be anything like the locusts we know today since they can torment
people as per the verse "They were given power" and they come from the bottomless pit. These are therefore
demons coming from the pit.
The Locusts' Appearance
The appearance of the locusts even further confuses things:

Shape - "Like horses prepared for battle"
Head - "Crowns of something like gold"
Face - "Like the faces of men"
Hair - "Hair like women’s hair"
Teeth - "Like lions’ teeth"
Wearing - "Like breastplates of iron"
Wing Sound - "Like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle"
Tail - "Like scorpions, with stings in their tails"
There's too much to deconstruct about the appearance of the locusts so I'll just summarise. Each fact about the
locusts has the word 'like' which means the writer was describing them the best they could in their ancient
language. Many of the facts don't make sense when you think of a conventional locust. How can a locust have a
golden crown, women's hair, teeth like a lion and also wear armour? The most plausible explanation is that these
'locusts' are otherworldly creatures which look nothing like any creature we know today, especially since they have
a king over them.
Additionally they come from the 'bottomless pit' which (for obvious reasons) isn't located on earth. What we can
ascertain is that these creatures are likely to be about the size of a locust as we know them today and we also know
they can fly. We don't know if they are visible or whether or not they can move through walls. They seem to be
able to affect every person without God's seal for the whole 5 month duration regardless of their location on earth
or whether there are six sealed walls around them or not. Abaddon/Apollyon is likely one of Satan’s underlings, a
destroying demon and one of the “rulers,” “authorities,” and “powers” mentioned in Ephesians 6:12.
People Can't Die
This can't be explained with science. You would think being shot in the chest by a tank would kill you. Think
again. This won't be a time of celebration however, the Bible says that people will seek death because of the pain
but won't be able to die. They will be tormented day and night for five months.
When this trumpet takes effect, people will be so shocked at the pain that many are likely to lose concentration on
what they're doing and crash cars, fall over and drop items causing a lot of destruction. People are likely to scream
out at the unending pain and their cries will last five months. Considering the amount of pain that those without
God's seal will be in, they won't want to leave their house, they will find it hard to sleep and factories and
workplaces may be absent. There may also be mass suicides once this trumpet ends.
Survival Tips
Again, the air will be filled with smoke which reduces the amount of light reaching crops likely
causing them to wither, if they’re still alive at all. Volcanic ash is hazardous to the lungs so wear
eye, nose and mouth protection if you're outside in the ash fall radius. Leave your home if you're
near the eruption epicenter since ash can easily collapses a roof, particularly if it rains as well. It

can also destroy electronics, jam moving parts, kill foliage, destroy aircraft engines and prove
lethal to grazing animals.
Ash can block water filters quickly so use pre-filters to get rid of as much of it beforehand. Take
care not to ingest ash as it contains a lot of chemicals such as fluoride which you can overdose
on. Additionally you should disconnect any pipes connecting your roof to your water tanks to
prevent ash making its way inside. Supply chains are likely to collapse entirely if they haven't
already due to everybody being in pain, so buy what you need before this point.

Revelation 9:13-21
Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar
which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels
who are bound at the great river Euphrates. So the four angels, who had been prepared for the
hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number
of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I
saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth
blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of
their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was
killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their
power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and
with them they do harm. But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did
not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold,
silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not
repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
The Four Angels
These 'angels' seem to only have one purpose, to kill a third of mankind when they are loosed. Angels who obey
God have no need for restraints which is why many believe these are demons. Demons also seem to be territorial
and like to attach themselves to objects, which could explain why they are fixed at the Euphrates River.
The Army
Currently the only countries of the world that have 200 million or more population in 2020ⁿ are: China (1.43 Bil),
India (1.38 Bil), U.S.A (331 Mil), Indonesia (273 Mil), Pakistan (220 Mil), Brazil (212 Mil) and Nigeria (206 Mil).
Therefore the only countries which could have an army of 200 million or more are China and India.
However this army is more likely to be the combined force of multiple countries such as the United Nations
peacekeeping force which could eventually become the army of the new global government. Interestingly the
UN's armour is a hyacinth blue, so in time they may merge with another army such as the Chinese army. In 2014ⁿ
the total size of the UN's army was 104,062 people, far off the required 200 million, therefore something drastic
will have to happen if it's the army mentioned in the scriptures. It may also be allegorical and refer to an unseen
army of demons.

The riders have breastplates consisting of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. It's interesting to note that
China has a flag containing red and yellow which is who this army could represent. The hyacinth blue may come
from another source such as the United Nations army mentioned above.
The Horses
Their heads were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. The only
unique features of a lion that the writer could be referring to would either be the shape of the head or the mane of
a lion. There's not currently any technology that looks like a lion’s head or has anything resembling a mane,
therefore we have to wait and see what it actually refers to. These 'horses' will have riders so they can't be any kind
of unmanned craft which in turn could mean they require human control due to complexity. They also have to be
big enough to allow a human on top of them or inside them.
Fire, Smoke and Brimstone
These are the three plagues the proceed from the 'mouths' and tails of the horses. Each one is distinct and yet it
appears they all come from the same vehicle. Fire and brimstone is often mentioned throughout the Bible in terms
of judgement, but there's never mention of smoke until now. Sulfur is synonymous with brimstone and can often
be linked with demons. Another point to note is that sulfur was commonly used in incendiary projectiles
thousands of years ago which could be attempting to describe modern incendiary weapons today.
Power in their Mouth and Tails
It seems that whatever modern technology this is, their weapons systems are in the nose and tail. Put simply, it's
probably describing missile systems since they generate smoke and fire when fired.
1/3 of People Killed
Killing one third of the population of the world is no easy task and would take a lot of time and weapons to do so.
There are currently 7.9 billion people on the planet in 2022ⁿ, if it were to happen today that would mean killing
2.63 billion people (2,630,000,000).
I'm not sure if this stacks on top of the 4th seal which killed 1/4 of the population. If it does, that would reduce
the world's population to about 4 billion from an estimated 8 billion at the time! At best that would only give
everyone a 50% chance of surviving the tribulation.
Survival Tips
The best way to survive this conflict would be to get out of major cities and as far away from the
epicenter of the conflict as possible. However, doing this you may not be able to reach the lost
as we're called to, unless it's done virtually, so instead I recommend preparing for a great conflict
- have medical aid, food, water, shelter and the Bible ready for all those in need.

Thunder generally describes how God talks throughout the Bible, so these could be His own words which must

The Little Book
John participates in the great drama unfolding before us and is required to do a very strange thing. He eats the
little book at the instruction of the angel, and the results are bittersweet. Eating the little book means to receive
the Word of God with faith. The part of the Word of God taken by John was judgment. It was sweet because the
future is sweet. In Genesis 18:17 we read, “And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I
do…?”
It is sweet to know what God is going to do, but when you find out that judgment is coming, it is bitter. John
eagerly received the Word of God, but when he saw that more judgment was to follow, it brought travail of soul
and sorrow of heart. It was sweet in his mouth and bitter in his digestive system.
It is sweet to know the Book of Revelation and what God intends to do, but when we find out that judgment is
coming to the Christ-rejecting world around us, we cannot rejoice in that. The prophecy becomes bitter.
Revelation 10:8-11
Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book
which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” So I went to
the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and
it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then I took
the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to me, “You must prophesy
again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
The Witnesses Killed

The antichrist rises against the witnesses once they have completed their testimony, he will make war against
them, overcome them, and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem for three days and will not be

The Bible doesn't say in what manner the witnesses will be killed but we can guess it has to be something that
visually confirms their death such as gunshot wounds, missing limbs or anything else that people can easily see
and agree that nobody can survive that type of wound. If you didn't catch it above, the witnesses are likely to be
Elijah and Moses for various reasons.

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and
swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the
earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should
be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to
sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets."
This verse is incredible to come to grips with, because it basically says that everyone on earth, without a doubt will
KNOW that there is a God and that these judgements are sent by Him. This is further verified in the 4th, 5th and
7th bowls where the earth dwellers blaspheme against God and will even come together to BATTLE against Him
at Armageddon after the 7th Bowl. How deceived and delusional will these people be to actually believe that they
will be able to defeat God Himself!?

The Seventh Trumpet - (Kingdom Proclaimed)

The hail must be quite damaging to be called 'great' even by God. To meet this definition I would estimate the hail
to be about the largest size recorded to date, but much more widespread. Currently the heaviest hail ever recorded
was 1.02kg (2.25lbs).

Survival Tips
Earthquakes and hail are localized disasters so they probably won't affect the whole world.
However you should secure your house just in case they do reach you. Make sure your
foundations are stable and your belongings are secure with nothing likely to fall and break. Since
this is a 'great' hail it's likely that it will be hail that the world has never seen before. You may
want to cover your windows with wooden planks, bring your vehicle undercover and avoid
dwelling near windows for the duration.
With lightning being mentioned it's probably fairly dangerous, keep in mind that the power may
drop out and avoid sheltering under trees and near metal structures. This is your last chance to
purchase items you need before the antichrist mandates the 'mark' to be able to buy and sell.

Mid Tribulation
The mid tribulation is a marker which can be used to identify the middle of the tribulation period. The
abomination of desolation (discussed below) signifies the turning point in the tribulation and separates the first 3.5
years from the last 3.5 years of the 70th week of Daniel. This point on until the end of the tribulation is known as
"The Great Tribulation".
Up until this point the antichrist was a man (or alien) who followed Satan’s instruction, however from the
abomination of desolation onwards Satan himself will indwell him directly. He will also gain satanic supernatural
powers to deceive the world and to reign in the nations with brutal force while attempting to behead all Jews and
Christians and those who don't follow him.

Revelation 13:16-18
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their

or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has
understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is
666.
This is likely the point when the antichrist will likely mandate the taking of the mark of the beast on either your
right hand or forehead. If you take it, you have allied yourself with the devil himself and you are guaranteed be
going to hell for eternity, either when Jesus returns or you die. This may be soon considering the insane “worldending” judgements that are coming. Not to mention that the first bowl says that all those with the mark will get
painful sores all over their body. You may not be able to buy anything, but if you commit yourself to Jesus and
live for Him, but you will be living with Him for eternity in heaven. God is the provider of all your needs.
Revelation 13:17 makes it sound like those taking the mark have a choice between receiving it on their right hand
or forehead as well as deciding whether they want this mark as a digital code, the name of the beast or just the
number of the beast's name. You cannot be tricked into getting this mark since it will be equivalent to signing
your soul to the devil and you will be pledging allegiance to the antichrist over everything else, including God. So
if anyone takes the mark, they will be doing it willingly and those who refuse will be beheaded. I'm going to
assume that anyone who takes the mark will either have, or grow to have a vicious hatred of Jews, Christians and
those who fear God. Once they possess the mark, there's nothing you can do for them, they are eternally lost, so
it's best to avoid them to prolong your life and reach those who haven't taken it.

Abomination of Desolation
This will play out almost identically to the COVID-19 'vaccine' experiment, except denying their lies this time will
result in their beheading - likely because some new manufactured plague was unleashed on humanity with this
'mark' being the only way to protect others. Something else to point out is that this mark will be the number of
the antichrist and not a personal identification number such as a bank account number. This number will be
related to him and will have the ciphered number 666 hidden within it.
The mark will allow you to purchase items for free as part of the antichrist's socialist/Marxist agenda. The mark
may also give those who take it demonic powers such as curing sickness, disease, boosting your IQ, 'enlightening
you', strengthening your muscles or more. However none of these are worth the price you pay for it - AN
ETERNITY IN HELL. This temptation will be just like Adam and Eve in the garden when Satan deceived them
by saying:
Genesis 3:4-5
“You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
So essentially Satan says: "You won't die (spiritually) if you take this mark, but instead your eyes will be opened
and you will be enlightened and empowered."
Pretty incredible huh? He's still up to his same old tricks.
The reason why taking the mark of the beast is irreversible could be that it alters your DNA permanently thus
removing you from the scope of being human. Jesus died on the cross ONLY for the sins of humanity and since
their DNA will be changed permanently, His death won't cover anyone who takes this mark - even if they try to
remove the external mark and repent. However I don't see anyone trying to remove the mark as they will probably
be blinded to the truth as soon as they take it.
The reason why the COVID-19 'vaccine' still allows you to be saved by Jesus - even if it alters your DNA, could
be because the coming antichrist isn't human. Therefore this 'alien' will probably combine their own demonic
DNA with the mark of the beast, enhancing any human who takes the mark but turning them into a demonic
hybrid of a fallen race - just like the Nephilim in Noah's day. (Genesis 6:4) This 'mark' will likely take the form of a
Luciferase Quantum Dot RNA vaccination with 'palisade' type spikes on the bottom so it's small and painless to
administer. This 'vaccine' will be readable with scanning technology or trackable from the 5G Internet Of Things
(IOT) network.
Abomination of Desolation
In the Bible, the abomination of desolation is the act of the antichrist sitting on the throne in the recently rebuilt
temple and declaring himself as god. When this act is witnessed worldwide on television, Jews and any other
Christians in the area will flee from Israel immediately - not even going into their homes to grab items. This starts
the second half of the tribulation where those without the mark of the beast are hunted and beheaded and Jews
are persecuted, causing 2/3 of them to eventually perish. Assuming there's about 7 million Jews living in Israel,
which means about 4.67 million of them will die by the end of the tribulation.
This is the point in which the antichrist (Satan-incarnate) is given satanic powers such as raining fire from heaven.

Survival Tips
NEVER take the mark of the beast, as this would be equivalent to signing your eternal death
certificate and that's the exact opposite of what this guide is for. With the antichrist now
attempting to murder all Jews and Christians on the planet you need to take your ministry
underground. Hopefully you have found yourself a small group of believers who will continue to
survive to reach the remaining lost. This is a critical time to tell people not to take the mark of
the beast or they will lose their ability to be saved!
During this time you may have to choose between losing your life for Jesus but saving a soul, or
fleeing to try and continue to save souls. The Lord will put on your heart what is right to do in
the moment. There are a few examples in scripture where believers had to flee to ensure the
continuation of the line of David. Remember that those who survive the tribulation will
populate the millennium, so according to God's word, there MUST be some who live through
these events - so never give up.
Since you will be hunted by the antichrist from this point forwards, you should dispose of any
technology which can be tracked. This includes mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and ANY
devices with Bluetooth, WiFi or GPS capabilities. Each of these technologies can be tracked in
one way or another using various methods. Only keep something if it's absolutely essential to
your survival or you've 'debugged' it by using privacy friendly operating systems or have
destroyed the transmitting or recording capabilities.
Every function your mobile phone has can be replaced by other technologies or non-digital
techniques. You should utilize these wherever possible as the internet will be thoroughly
controlled and vetted by the one world government. Have a physical Bible over a digital one!
The Jews Second Exodus
The Jews flee from Israel and will be hunted and killed by the antichrist for the remainder of the tribulation. They
will flee into the desert - to Petra, for 3.5 years where they will be protected and sustained by God. Bibles were
concealed somewhere in Petra hundreds of years ago in preparation for their arrival so that they may come to
know Jesus Christ - the God they rejected.
Hosea 5:15
I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My
face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
Notice that He says 'return to my place'. This implies that He left heaven, and He did, when He came to die on
the cross for our sins 2,000 years ago.
Matthew 24:15-18
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

meaning of the "Abomination of Desolation" in the first temple, but for simplicity I've added a quick description
below:
History of the Abomination of Desolation
In 167 B.C. a Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanies set up an altar to Zeus over the altar of burnt offerings in the
Jewish temple in Jerusalem. He also sacrificed a pig on the altar in the holiest Temple in Jerusalem. This event is
known as the abomination of desolation. The same thing will occur again, this time committed by the antichrist,
but likely even worse.

The Bowls
1st Bowl
The Bowls
The 7 bowls of God's judgement
The bowl judgements begin approximately 5-6 years into the tribulation and end around the 7 year mark. By this
point most people would likely have chosen to either take or reject the mark of the beast. Since those who have
taken the mark are going to hell there's no point preaching to them or sharing your resources with them. They will
be able to buy and sell, but you won't, so your efforts are best used trying to find those without the mark who still
aren't saved, and trying to stay alive yourself. Your best opportunity to find these people is during the first bowl
when the loathsome sores cover only those with the mark.
Summarised Bowl Survival Tips
The bowl judgements seem to be the most devastating to earth and the most difficult to prepare
for considering everything that has already transpired. Every river and body of water will be
turned to blood which makes it nearly impossible to find clean sources of water to drink. All sea
creatures die which now eliminates the most abundant source of food, since the fires in the first
trumpet probably killed most of the animals.
The final mega-quake and massive hail will literally decimate cities across the planet, but ideally
you would be living far from major cities by now. Additionally you will be hunted by the
antichrist for not taking the mark; therefore you won't be able to show your face in public
without being in danger.
1st Bowl
The First Bowl - (Loathsome Sores)
The first bowl pours out foul and loathsome sores on everyone with the mark of the beast or who worshiped the
antichrists image. The sores are unique to those with the mark of the beast - which could be due to a biological
oversight when designing this 'mark'.
Be warned that as a Christian during this period you will easily stand out due to your lack of sores. The antichrist
probably won't take his own mark and therefore might not be subjected to these sores.
The first bowl may begin around the sixth year of the tribulation.

So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came
upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
It sounds like these sores cover the whole body of those with the mark and not just the area around the mark.
They will also be foul, meaning that they will both look putrid and smell revolting. Mark-bearers won't want to
come near each other because of the stench and many contact based jobs will have to be suspended.
Sex will likely be avoided until the sores are gone. Loathsome could imply that people will utterly hate these sores
on their bodies and will seek to remove them by any means possible. It is unknown how long this bowl judgement
will last and if the sores will remedy themselves or last through to the end of the tribulation.
Survival Tips
During this period you will easily stand out as someone who hasn't taken the mark, so it may be
wise to stay concealed for the duration since those who have these sores are already destined for
hell. However this will also be a great way to find people who haven't taken the mark and are
potentially open to accepting Jesus as their savior.

Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man;

A while after death, blood separates into a clear watery top layer with a thick red under layer. This could be what
the Bible refers to by 'blood as of a dead man'. This judgement will kill everything that was still alive in the sea
after the second trumpet when 1/3 of all sea creatures were killed. After people realize that everything in the
ocean is dead, fishing will likely stop for the remainder of the tribulation. Seafood will become non-existent with
the only fish remaining being in man-made tanks.
By reading the text carefully it sounds like the sea creatures died due to the sea becoming blood which eliminates
the possibility that the dead sea creatures caused the sea to turn to blood. It's unknown whether the entire sea will
become blood at the exact same time or it will originate from a point and spread. It's also possible that the waters
will stink, just like in Exodus.
For further reading I recommend looking at Exodus 7:14-25 where Moses turns the waters to blood.
Survival Tips
Avoid living near the ocean from this point on as it will smell putrid and there will be carcasses
of dead sea life floating on the surface. Avoid scavengers and other meat eating birds near the
ocean as they will spread disease rapidly. If you're reading this ahead of time you shouldn't
depend on fishing as a food source anymore because the next bowl also likely eliminates fresh
water life too. Instead try to hunt wild animals and preserve home grown foods. Ideally you
should have preserved food years ago to last through this period.

blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.
And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous
are Your judgments.”
In the same way that the previous bowl turned the seas to blood, this one will turn the rivers, springs and
subsequently the lakes to blood as well. Since it's difficult to explain how this happens because rivers generally
come from rain and springs from underground, so let's just say it's done by God's divine power. The scripture
doesn't mention that the life in the rivers and springs dies, but one would assume they do since the last bowl killed
all life in the ocean. With that said, eventually the dams that supply cities will turn to blood also, however it's
unknown whether the blood can be filtered out of the water with modern methods.
For further reading I recommend Exodus 7:14-25 where Moses turns the waters to blood.
Survival Tips
Again, try to avoid spending time near rivers and springs as there may be an increase in disease if
everything in the rivers and lakes also dies. Clean water will become the biggest issue and
conventional water purifiers may not remove the blood completely. You should store clean
water in as many containers as you can prior to this judgement, even if it's not filtered - since
you can do that later or use it for bathing. Distillation or Reverse Osmosis are probably your
two best options to filter blood from water.
It's not known how long this polluted water will last, but you should have enough water to give
out generously to those who need it. A difficult question arises at this point which I can't
answer... "Should you give water and supplies to those who have taken the mark of the beast,
since they are going to hell anyway?"

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch
men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God
who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
For the sun to be able to scorch people with a great heat, the effects of the 4th trumpet where 1/3 of the sun was
struck must have been undone. Since the previous sun-altering judgements, the world will have cooled down
greatly, particularly in the 5th trumpet when the sun was blocked by thick smoke. This bowl would likely counter
those lasting effects and semi-stabilize the planets temperature, that is until it overheats.
It's hard to tell just how powerful this scorching will be from scripture, but I would imagine that if sunlight made
contact with your skin even for a few minutes it would cause a first degree burn. It's conjecture on my part, but I
have a feeling that this heat could also render the international space station inoperable and destroy many of our
satellites. A belief that God's judgement can't affect you because you're in space is naive.
During this bowl the residents of earth blaspheme God directly; this implies that they KNOW there's a God and
that this is His judgement on the world. The actual point at which God is revealed to the planet is right before the
7th Trumpet. The Bible says in Revelation 10:7 that "in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is
about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets".
Survival Tips
Stay out of direct sunlight for the duration of this bowl or risk being severely burnt. It may be
wise to construct some form of handheld shield to hold above you in areas where there's no
shelter. (Umbrellas may not suffice). In addition, have some Vitamin D tablets handy to stay
healthy and avoid a deficiency. The only reprieve you'll get from this bowl is at night, so you
should work through the night and sleep during the day. Since your body temperature is lower
when you sleep, it will help keep you cool.
Construct a shelter over your plants or bring them inside to help preserve them. Avoid your
body temperature getting over 37°C (98.6° F) by drinking plenty of fluids, spraying yourself with
water occasionally, fanning yourself and using a wet cloth on shallow veins. Avoid exerting
yourself, but if you need to - know the signs of hyperthermia and heat stroke. Small bodies of
water may evaporate making it difficult to source any, so again it's recommended to stop up and

The Sixth Bowl - (Euphrates Dried Up)
The sixth bowl dries up the Euphrates River to make way for the kings of the east. Demons go out to the nations
of the earth to gather them to battle God. It takes a very depraved mind or a strong deception to trick nations into
believing that they can defeat the God of the universe in a battle with mortal weapons. This bowl occurs late in
the 7th year.

and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches,
and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” And they gathered them
together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon."
The Euphrates
The Euphrates is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. Together with the
Tigris, it is one of the two defining rivers of Mesopotamia. It is approximately 2,800 km (1,700 mi) long. The
Euphrates receives most of its water in the form of rainfall and melting snow, resulting in peak volumes during
the months April through May.
Since rain and snow is the primary source of the volume of water it's likely that the extreme heat in the 4th bowl
prevents rain and snow and therefore could be the reason it dries up. That isn't to say there can't be other reasons
why it dries up, such as a dam construction or supernatural intervention. Currently the Euphrates restricts
movement from the east to the west due to its large width which ranges from about 45m (147ft) at its narrowest
point to about 2.7km (1.67mi) at its widest point.

Gathering Against God
To finish off this bowl, demons will go out to the ends of the earth from the satanic trinity and gather together
the nations in Armageddon to battle God. They absolutely cannot win against an eternal God who made them,
the earth and the universe. Since there's 3 frogs coming from each of the satanic trio, it sounds like there will be at
least, or exactly 9 nations gathering to fight God at Armageddon.
A reason why they believe they will have a chance at defeating God is all the movies that come out of Hollywood
depicting humans defeating aliens and gods who attempt to invade. Another reason could be that if the antichrist
is an alien himself - he could lie to the world that Jesus can be defeated - which is utter nonsense. Soon, Jesus
Himself will destroy them with the brightness of His coming.
Coming as a Thief
Verses 15 and 16 in Revelation 16 are a parentheses between the 6th and the 7th bowl, just like between the 6th
and 7th seals and the 6th and 7th trumpets. It does NOT mean that this is the point when the rapture occurs although if you're following along in the tribulation you would already know this.
Survival Tips
There's no reason why any believer should be anywhere near Armageddon at this point. If you
are, get out - unless of course you're called by God. If you're residing anywhere along the
Euphrates you will need to find a new source of water. Additionally you may want to consider
leaving the area in case the armies from the east find you.

Noises, Thunder, Lightning
The biggest earthquake in all history splitting Babylon into 3 parts
Hailstones each about 34.2kg (75.3 lbs.) fall from heaven
Blasphemy against God
Revelation 16:17-21
Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the
temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were noises and
thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great
earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided
into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before
God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled
away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each
hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail,
since that plague was exceedingly great.
Hail
A hailstone weighing 1 talent would equal 34kg or 75lbs today and would be about the size of 33 litres (8.7gal) of
water frozen into a solid block. This block of ice would therefore (at minimum) be 33 x 33 x 33cm (13x13x13 in).
However since only 5% of hail is frozen water it would likely be much larger than that. It only takes hail the size
of a golf ball to kill someone and this hail could be the size of a briefcase or small car (but round).
Additionally if this hail is produced by a storm (and doesn't come from space), it would have to be massive in size,
with extremely strong updrafts!
Earthquake
For an earthquake to be so large that it has never occurred before in human history, it would have to be at least a
magnitude 10, assuming that some of the previous judgement earthquakes were magnitude 9.5-10's. It would also
likely have to be less than magnitude 15 as an earthquake of this scale could potentially wipe out all life on earth.
We also know that this earthquake splits Babylon into 3 parts; therefore the epicentre will be nearby.
I would place the magnitude of this earthquake at around 12-14 to be able to collapse every island and mountain
on the planet. Keep in mind that the scriptures don't explicitly say that the earthquake caused the islands and
mountains to disappear, so keep other options open.
Babylon will likely be constructed around Al-Hillah in Iraq where the previous Babylon Empire was located. The
coordinates are 32.478642, 44.451235 (32° 28' 43.1" N, 44° 27' 4.4" E) if you're interested. If you want the safest
place from the earthquake I recommend the antipode (the opposite side) which would be Australia or New
Zealand. However, since there will be catastrophic aftershocks circling the globe it's likely that many tsunamis will
follow, making nowhere safe. This is one of your last chances to repent and turn from your ways.

Blasphemy
For people to be able to blaspheme against God they must know that there is a God causing these disasters in the
first place, but if you believe that there's a God who created the universe, why would you attempt to go up against
Him with mortal weapons?
Survival Tips
This bowl would absolutely cause the most destruction worldwide by a long shot, so take into
account that you aren't likely to survive this this no matter where you are on the planet. This
earthquake will be absolutely devastating to the entire planet. The Bible says that EVERY city
falls so by default you should stay far from any major cities, buildings and objects which may
collapse on you. Stay away from mountains, oceans, boats and valleys as well. The epicenter of
the earthquake will probably be Babylon since its split into three parts; therefore the antipode
(New Zealand or Australia) is potentially the safest place to be.
Due to the sheer size of this earthquake it could also cause a colossal tsunami, so stay away from
shorelines. Don't stay on an islands either as they will 'flee away', or in other words - dissipate. If
you can, find a large flat piece of land without many landscape features or trees. The insanely
large hail will almost definitely pelt Babylon and may also fall on other rebellious cities of man
worldwide. Since you're already likely dwelling in crude shelters they probably won't stand up to
34kg (75lbs) hail. Pray that God will spare you from these plagues.

Tribulation End
This just marks the end of the tribulation or the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" which ends when God's wrath is

moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
These events occur as soon as the tribulation ends and lead into the glorious return of Jesus Christ. The world will

Armageddon Gathering
The armies of the antichrist gather at Armageddon (Tel-Megiddo) to 'battle' God. An interesting point to note is

This is the second coming of Jesus, where He purges the world of sin and rules from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.
Unlike the first coming as a human, this time Jesus returns in all His might, power and wrath, destroying His
enemies on arrival. Behind Jesus will be the armies of heaven and the raptured saints riding white horses and
clothed in white apparel. The chance of the army gathered at Armageddon actually winning against God is 0%, nil,
zero, nada, with absolutely no doubt about it.
When this event occurs there's no use for the remainder of this document. If you've survived to the end of the

two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with
the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds
were filled with their flesh.
Notice how the scripture goes straight from 'the armies were gathered together' to 'the capturing of the beast and
the false prophet. How were they captured so easily without a fight? Jesus did it all. Even though He brought the
armies of heaven with Him, He defeats the army single-handedly as described in verse 21. All Jesus needs to
obliterate them is the Word of God, also known as the sword that proceeds from His mouth.
The beast and false prophet were cast alive into hell? Does that mean they will die there, and then their spirit
continues to burn? Or is this an unconsuming fire which will constantly burn their physical bodies? It's interesting
to note that there's no judgement or trial for these two like everyone else created by God. They go straight to the
lake of fire, whereas everyone else unsaved who has died awaits judgement in Hades.

him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand
years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
The Sheep and Goats Judgement
The sheep and goats judgement occurs after the tribulation when Jesus returns to claim His throne. Everyone who
remains on the earth will be grouped into either the sheep (His followers) or the goats (those who lived for
themselves or worshiped the antichrist). Remember that only those who gathered to battle God were destroyed.
There are still those with the 'mark', those who are unsaved, and the surviving believers around the world. After
the sheep and goats are sorted, those who are on His left will be sent to hell forever and those on His right will
inherit the kingdom with Him and will live during the coming millennium.
Matthew 25:31-46
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit

The Millennium
The Believers Live with Christ
The Millennium
The 1,000 years of Jesus' reign from Jerusalem
The millennium is the period of 1,000 years when Jesus reigns over the entire earth with a rod of iron. (Revelation
19:15) Nations must travel to Jerusalem once a year to maintain blessings from Him or He will withhold rain on
that nation. During the millennium there will be births and deaths as we know them now since this is still a sinful
world, however the average age of a person is much longer, greatly exceeding 100 years old. Animals will no
longer harm people and a child can play with a cobra without fear. However those who don't worship or follow
God will be cursed and have shorter lives.
The Believers Live with Christ
Those who were loyal to Christ during their life and walked closely with Him will reign with Jesus for the
millennium with their glorified bodies. Those who were saved but didn't walk the path set for them will just live in
the millennium without reigning. Glorified bodies are physical bodies which aren't sinful and come with multidimensional abilities such as those which Jesus utilized after His resurrection - like appearing in a sealed room. It's
strange to consider how these two different groups will interact with each other throughout the millennium.
Those with glorified bodies will be able to move into secure buildings, teleport across the planet instantly and will
never get sick or die.
Revelation 20:4-6
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw
the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God,
who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their
foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But
the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the
second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with
Him a thousand years.
The verse above describes those who died in the tribulation for their testimony of Jesus and who did not take the
mark will live and reign with Jesus for the 1,000 years. Those who did not believe aren't resurrected until the Great
White Throne Judgement which occurs after the millennium is complete.
Isaiah 65:20-25
“No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled

vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant
and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect
shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children

speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like
the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy

The verse above describes the greatly increased maximum age in the millennium. Someone who is 100 years old
will be considered a child with most of their life ahead of them. The sinners however will be cursed with a shorter
life. This implies that there will still be sin in the world even without the deceiver - Satan.
The world will also be much more fruitful such as crops being easier to take care of and produce much more
food. Children will be raised righteously with a love, and a righteous fear of God, yet they will have free will and
will be able to choose between right and wrong as evidenced by some nations not coming to Jerusalem for the
feast of tabernacles each year. (Zechariah 14:17-19)

Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up
to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the
family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the
plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of
Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that
do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. In that day “HOLINESS TO THE LORD”
shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls
before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts.
Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no
longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
This passage says that the nations of the world will come to Jerusalem each year to worship the Lord and to take
part in the feast of tabernacles. However for those nations that don't, the Lord will withhold rain on their lands.
Isaiah 11:6-9
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The
calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow
and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat
straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall
put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

The Millennium
The Rebellion
Isaiah 11 is an interesting passage describing what living in the millennium will be like. Animals will settle down
and won't harm each other or humans during the millennium. Children and their parents won't have any fear of
snakes - or any other animal.
The Rebellion
After the thousand years of Jesus' peaceful reign, Satan is released to deceive the nations once again. He lures
them with a lie and then brings them against God and against His people by surrounding the city of Jerusalem.
The army he musters will number as many as the sand of the sea which just shows how many people will be alive
at the end of the millennium since nobody dies as young or as easily anymore. God then, once again destroys this
army by fire from the sky.
This rebellion and the build up to the surrounding of Jerusalem could take many years and may not occur straight
after the thousand years are up. Satan needs time to spread his lies to the nations and to deceive those who live on
the earth with lust, selfish pleasures, pride and a hatred of all things righteous.
"But after these things he [Satan] must be released for a little
while." Revelation 20:3
Revelation 20:7-9
Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go
out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to
gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the
breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came
down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
Satan's Demise
Finally, the devil is thrown into hell to be tormented for ever and ever after God destroys the rebellion. He will be
joining the antichrist and the false prophet who have been there burning for the past thousand years already. Take
heed of the Bible's precision when it says they will burn forever and ever. This isn't an allegory for 'spiritual
burning' and it's not saying that they will eventually be consumed by this fire - they will literally be burning for
eternity.
Revelation 20:10
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and
the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The Great White Throne Judgement
At the Great White Throne Judgement the dead who had not believed in God or followed his word are
resurrected to be judged. Heaven and earth will flee away from the face of Him who sits on the throne, which is
hard to imagine since we always picture something physical when we think of heaven.

The Millennium
The Great White Throne Judgement
Those not found in the book of life are thrown into the lake of fire to pay the price for the sins they've committed
against a Holy God. Unfortunately they will never be able to pay off their debt, which is why we need to point
them to Jesus while they're still alive. After this, Death and Hades are then thrown into the lake of fire, meaning
nobody will be able to die from this point forward. This is the last and final judgement. Again, it's hard to grasp
how Death and Hades can be 'destroyed' or 'tormented' since we conceptualise them as descriptors and not
beings.
Revelation 20:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is
the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were
written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered
up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then
Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not
found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

The New Jerusalem
Eternity
An eternity spent with God
The New Jerusalem
God creates a new heaven and earth, where those who love the Lord will dwell with Him forever. There will be
no sin, death, pain or sorrow and everything will be perfect. Part of this creation will be a New Jerusalem which
has no need for the sun or moon because the glory of God illuminates it. This is described quite thoroughly by
John in Revelation 21.
Something to note is that the New Jerusalem described below may not be in three dimensions but four, hence the
highlighted words in the verse below. Breadth is the unit of length/direction which isn't used in our third
dimension world. This phrasing is only found in the KJV and the bolding below is my own.
Ephesians 3:17-19 (KJV)
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with
all the fulness of God.
2 Peter 3:10-13
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away
with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works
that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening
the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look
for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
This new heaven and earth will truly be spectacular beyond all imagination or comprehension as described in the
verse below. No matter what incredible things you imagine heaven will be like, it will surely be better. Throughout
eternity we won't just be worshipping God all the time, but we'll have important roles to play and achievements to
work towards.
The verses below describe the new heaven and the new earth.
Revelation 21:1-27
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed
away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming

down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a
loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell
with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor
crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me,
“Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life
freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and
he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,
sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death.”" Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show
you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high
mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone,
clear as crystal. Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the
gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of
Israel: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three
gates on the west.
Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb. And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its
gates, and its wall. The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he
measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are
equal. Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the
measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city
was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all
kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third
chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth
amethyst.

The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of
the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine
in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who
are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring

What is Salvation?
Accepting Jesus
What is Salvation?
Salvation is the deliverance from sin. To save means to deliver or protect. Jesus equated being saved with entering
the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24-25).
What are we saved from? We are saved from God's wrath, that is, His judgment of our sin
when we meet Him face to face (Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated
us from God, and the consequence of this violation of God's law is death (Romans 6:23).
Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequences of sin and therefore
involves the removal of sin which has already paid for by Jesus on the cross.
Salvation
www.fluidicice.com/salvation
Who does the saving? Only God can remove sin and deliver us from sin’s penalty (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5). How
does God save? God has rescued us through Jesus's death on the cross and subsequent resurrection which
achieved our salvation (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:7). Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved
gift of God (Ephesians 2:5, 8) which is ours for the taking through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). How do we
receive salvation? We are saved by faith. First, we must hear the gospel—the good news of Jesus’ death and
resurrection (Ephesians 1:13).
Then, we must believe by fully trusting the Lord Jesus (Romans 1:16). This involves repentance, a changing of
mind about sin and Christ (Acts 3:19), and calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:9-10, 13). A definition of
salvation would be “The deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to
those who accept by faith God’s conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.” Salvation is available in
Jesus alone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and is dependent on God alone for provision, assurance, and security.
This is absolutely the most important section in the entire guide, outlining the path to eternal salvation as
described in the Bible. Your acceptance or denial of Jesus will affect where you spend eternity, and every soul lives
forever, it's just a matter of location. A prerequisite for becoming saved is knowing that God exists, that He
created you, loves you and died for you.
God wrote the Bible through man to further prove His existence to us alongside the wondrous and spectacular
world around us. There are countless incredible facts about the Bible that prove it had to be designed outside of
space and time. For a few of these amazing insights read the 'Evidence for God' section in 'Christianity'.
ABC’s of Salvation
A - Admit that you are a sinner.
Any gap between God's perfect law and our imperfect obedience is called sin, which everyone has committed.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
"There is none righteous, no, not one;" (Romans 3:10)
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John
1:10)
The Rapture Survival Guide

www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Accepting Jesus
ABC’s of Salvation
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 6:23)
B - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Him from
the dead on the third day, taking the punishment you deserved.
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6) Your own
good works cannot save you, no matter how good a person you are, and wouldn't the creator of heaven set the
bar for entry?
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for
us." (Romans 5:8)
C - Call upon the name of the Lord and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Through prayer, invite Jesus into your heart to become your personal Lord and Saviour. There is an example
prayer below.
"If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
The Sinner's Prayer
"Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and am in need of your forgiveness. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for
my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I am
ready and willing to trust you as my Lord and Saviour and to turn from my sin. I now invite you into my heart as my
personal Saviour. Amen."
"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Joel 2:32 / Acts 2:21 / Romans 10:13
Once you've prayed this prayer, believing it with all your heart, you're saved by the power of the blood of Jesus!
He paid that ultimate price for our sin, sacrificing Himself so that we may live. However it's easy to say something
with your mouth, what takes real effort is living out a life in pursuit of Jesus, walking according to His will for you
and leaving your old sinful ways behind.
Below are some more verses related to salvation and justification, as well as some next steps you should take as a
new Christian to help cement your faith. If there's one thing that Satan despises, it's new Christians. So be
prepared to battle against the spiritual forces of wickedness by praying and reading your Bible daily as well as
putting on your spiritual armour.

"I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
Galatians 2:16
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even

1 Corinthians 15:3-4
"How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and
that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures"
Steps to Living a Godly Life
Pray
Talk to God in prayer every day. Ask for forgiveness for your sins when you slip up, bring to Him your needs and
ambitions as well as praises and worship to glorify His Holy name. For more on praying, see the 'Armor of God'
section in 'Christianity'.
Matthew 21:22
"And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Philippians 4:6
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known to God;"
Romans 10:16-17
"But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our
report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Fellowship
Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians where Christ is preached and the Bible is the
final authority on everything. This could be set in a church or a small household group. A group of fellow
believers will help keep you honest, help keep you on the straight and narrow path and provide support if you're
struggling with sin or issues on the Bible.

correction, for instruction in righteousness"
Tell others about Christ
We all have a calling in this world. This can be anything from pastoring a Church, helping the poor, mission trips,
providing finances, developing Christian content, or more. The one thing we all have in common is the need to
spread the gospel across the planet to reach all those who are lost, hurting or in need. Find the purpose God has
for you and pursue it, you will find it's something you enjoy doing too! If you aren't sure what you're meant to be
doing firstly pray about it and then seek ways you can use your talents to reach the lost. If you can knit perhaps
you can create clothing or blankets for the homeless. If you're skilled at electrical work you could fix the lights and
wiring of your local neighbors while spreading His gospel.
Mark 16:15
"And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
1 Corinthians 9:16
"For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is
me if I do not preach the gospel!"
Romans 1:16
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for
everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek."
Walking with Jesus
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour you should dive into your Bible daily to get to know Christ and
His plan for redemption better. I recommend the KJV, NKJV or ESV versions as they are the most accurate to
the original text. If you have questions, resolve them by firstly asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the answers to you
and also by asking another believer to help provide an answer.
2 Timothy 2:15
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth."

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

As always if you wish to find answers out for yourself you should search God's word. If you're told something by
a friend, pastor or Bible scholar, search the scriptures to ensure what they say is correct. (Acts 17:11) Take caution
not to be fooled by what others claim the Bible says but do your own research. There will be great apostasy and a
falling away from Christianity in the end times. The word of God is living and He can speak to you through His
word.
Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be
opened."
Acts 17:11
"These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with
all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

Rapture Prerequisites
Addendum
'This section is for extra information that would be interesting to know, but not vital to understanding the rapture
timeline.
Rapture Prerequisites
There were a few biblical prerequisites for the rapture to occur, however they have all come to pass leaving it open
to happen at any time now.
Israel must be a Nation
How can the tribulation be the time of Jacob's troubles if Jacob (Israel) isn't in it? This was fulfilled on 14 May
1948. David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S.
President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.
The Destruction of the Temple
Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple which came to pass in 70 A.D., for this to pass the rapture couldn't
have happened before then. (Luke 21:6) (Luke 19:44) (Matthew 24:2) (Mark 13:2)
The Falling Away
"Jesus said that there would be a great 'falling away' (either the rapture or apostasy), before the antichrist is
revealed. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4) We also know from this verse that the antichrist cannot be revealed until the
church has been removed from the earth which makes sense if it refers to the rapture of the Church. If it refers to
apostasy then that requirement has already been ticked off.
Taking a look at the world today, we can see the utter confusion with regard to religion and the multiple splits that
have occurred to form different denominations. Church has become more of a social event rather than a place of
worship with fewer and fewer attending. Mega church pastors and televangelists are spreading doctrines of
demons daily."
Dispersion of Jews (The Diaspora)
Fulfilled. The Jewish Diaspora is the term for the dispersion of the Jews from their ancestral homeland which
occurred during the siege of Jerusalem in 69-70 CE when the Romans invaded, destroying the temple.
The Jews will Return Home
Fulfilled. Many thousands of Jews have been returning to Israel since the end of World War II and the influx
continues today.
The Promised Land would be Desolate
Fulfilled. Mark Twain back in 1867 said: The Sea of Galilee was, “a solemn, sailless, tintless lake, as unpoetical as
any bath-tub on earth.” and "It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land." Throughout 'Innocents Abroad', Twain
explicitly states that the area was desolate and devoid of inhabitants, even trees.
Israel will Flourish
The Rapture Survival Guide
123
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Addendum
Rapture Hermeneutics
Fulfilled. The country of Israel is vastly rich in money, oil, gas and technology to name a few. Israel's GDP is
growing by 3.3% per year as of 2020. Whereas Russia is only growing by 1.5%, The UK by 1.8% and even the
U.S. is only growing by 2.3% p/y. (See Luke 21:29-33)
Jews won't believe that Jesus is Lord
Currently True. Jesus is still just a 'Good Man' according to the Jews and they will mistake the coming antichrist as
God.
The world will be in turmoil before the rapture
Fulfilled and currently being fulfilled. The world will grow more and more restless by the day with increasing wars,
famines, pestilences, and earthquakes. (Matthew 24:4-8) (Mark 13:5-8) COVID-19 and the decline of America are
huge fulfilments of this scripture. As the devil gains more ground, the world will continue to fall into chaos until
nations beg for a world leader who can solve the world's problems.
Rapture Hermeneutics
Hermeneutics simply means your 'theory of interpretation'. In other words some people and groups take the Bible
literally word for word, and some like to allegorise its passages in favour of a less literal meaning.
Due to this, among Christians there can often be some heated debates about the tribulational positioning of the
rapture, whether it's pre-tribulation (potentially long before the tribulation begins), mid-tribulation, posttribulation, that it's already happened (Postmillennialism) or that it's all allegorical (Amillennialism).
This document uses the Pre-Tribulational viewpoint because it's the most theologically sound position, but to sum
it up simply - we are to expect Him at any time.
The Rapture Survival Guide
124
www.fluidicice.com/TRSG
Addendum
Rapture Hermeneutics
Pre-Tribulational Rapture
(Biblically Accurate)
The pre-tribulation position advocates that the rapture will occur before the beginning of the seven-year
tribulation period, while the second coming will occur at the end of it. Pre-tribulationists often describe the
rapture as Jesus coming for the church and the second coming as Jesus coming with the church. We're not
looking for the antichrist; we're looking for Jesus Christ.
This is the view used throughout this document as explained below.
Why the view is biblically accurate:
1. We are to pray for escape. (Luke 21:36) "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted
worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass." Remember that some churches are promised to
go through the tribulation if they don't get back on track.
2. The church is mentioned repeatedly in the first 3 chapters but never again from the fourth chapter on because it's now in heaven before the start of the tribulation.
3. We're not appointed to God's wrath, but to obtain salvation through Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians
5:9-11)
4. "It mirrors a Jewish Wedding:
a. The Betrothal (Payment, Set Apart / Sanctification)
b. Bridegroom Departs to Father's House (He prepares a room addition, The bride prepares for his
imminent return)
c. Surprise Gathering (Wedding, often at midnight)
d. Seven Day Marriage Supper. See: The Jewish Wedding - Chuck Missler, on YouTube for more
information."
5. Enoch's rapture is a 'type' of the church before the great flood of Noah. (A type is a doctrine or theory
concerning the relationship of events in the Old Testament to the New Testament)
6. The conditional tribulation. Jesus rebuked the Thyatira church saying that unless they repent, they will go
through the tribulation. (Revelation 2:22)
7. The day/hour is unknown. Therefore the rapture cannot occur in the tribulation which is the most
documented period of the whole Bible. If the rapture is after the start of the tribulation, Christians will
adopt an 'I'll get right with God later' mindset. There's no urgency to save people.
8. "Comfort another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:18) How can you comfort others knowing you
will go through even part of the tribulation?
9. The Blessed Hope - (Titus 2:13) "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ"
10. Revelation has 3 sections. The things that 'have been' (Ch. 1), the things that 'are' (Ch. 2&3) and the
'things to come' (Ch. 4-22). John is taken up in ch.4 as a 'type' of the rapture.
11. John was taken to heaven in the spirit in Revelation chapter 4 which mirrors a type of the rapture in the
correct position relative to Revelation. As a whole, the Bible is laid out in chronological order, and
follows the nation of Israel.
12. The Doctrine of Imminency - We are to expect Him at any time, there are no longer any preconditions to
His return.
13. As discussed above, why would God 'beat up' His bride (the believers) in the tribulation before taking her
to dinner - the marriage supper of the lamb?

14. The seven lamps of fire in heaven represent the 7 churches and relate back to the parable of the 10
virgins.
15. Parable of the 10 virgins. Matthew 25:1-13. This is an example of a Pre-Tribulational rapture as they do
not know the day or the hour.
16. The 24 elders in heaven symbolise the raptured church. It's interesting that there are also 24 references to
raptures throughout the Bible.
17. The tribulation period is the last week in Daniel's 70 weeks where God focuses exclusively on Israel to
bring them to Him.
18. Revelation 3:10 "Because you have persevered, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall
come upon the whole world". The hour of trial is the tribulation, and those who persevere are His
believers.
19. If the rapture occurs pre-tribulation - wouldn't Satan do his best to try and convince people otherwise so
they feel they have more time?
20. Daniel's absence during the events of the golden idol worship in Daniel 3 is a 'type' of the rapture.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego symbolise Israel.
21. Joseph in Egypt during the 7 years of famine is a typology of the tribulation. Joseph's brothers are
representative of Israel.
22. Lot and his family were delivered from the judgement of God on Sodom. He didn't protect them in the
midst of the judgement, but took them out entirely.
23. If the church has to go through the tribulation to 'refine' or 'prove' themselves as some espouse, then
salvation is based on works done in the tribulation rather than a gift.
24. The tribulation is a time of God's wrath on the "earth-dwellers" not on His believers. (Revelation 6:15-17)
25. Satan knows the rapture is coming which gives him time to set up a believable lie to explain it away. How
else can you explain the rise of UFOs and alien movies AND the countless, legitimate unexplainable
sightings today?
26. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling
away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition". The falling away or 'snatching
away' is most likely the rapture of believers, and the man of sin is the antichrist. Therefore the church
cannot be here alongside the antichrist.
27. History. If you're looking back from the tribulation, you will know that the rapture has already happened.
This point is a validation of the authenticity of the Bible rather than a point towards the pre-tribulation
rapture.
...and many other reasons and biblical 'types' too numerous to list.
Mid-Tribulational Rapture
(Biblically Inaccurate)
The mid-tribulation position espouses that the rapture will occur near the middle of the tribulation period, or
'Daniel's 70th Week'. The tribulation is divided into two periods of 3.5 years each. Mid-tribulationists hold that the
saints will go through the first period (Beginning of Travail), but will be raptured into Heaven before the severe
outpouring of God's wrath in the second half of what is called the great tribulation.
Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God's wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. (1
Thessalonians 5:9)
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the Bible?
The disciples even expected Him in their life.
3. The church is not mentioned in any of the events from chapter 4 onwards.

4. It is "The Time of Jacob's Trouble", Jacob's name was changed to Israel, and therefore the tribulation is
for the salvation of Israel and not the church.
5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
Pre-Wrath Premillennialism Rapture (End-Trib)
(Biblically Inaccurate)
The pre-wrath rapture view also places the rapture at some point after the Abomination of Desolation and before
the judgement of the bowls. This view holds that the tribulation of the church begins toward the latter part of a
seven-year period, when the Antichrist is revealed in the temple.
Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God's wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. (1
Thessalonians 5:9)
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the Bible?
The disciples even expected Him in their life.
3. The church is not mentioned in any of the events from Revelation 4 onwards.

5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
Post-Tribulational
(Biblically Inaccurate)
The post-tribulation position places the rapture at the end of the tribulation period. In this case, the rapture would
be after the last bowl but before the second coming of Jesus and the destruction of the world's armies.
Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God's wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. (1
Thessalonians 5:9)
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the Bible?
The disciples even expected Him in their life.

5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
6. There won't be time for the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" if we go to heaven and then instantly come
back with Jesus.
7. There will be nobody to go into the millennium since those who are saved will come right back with Jesus
instantly.
Postmillennialism (Kingdom Now)
(Very Biblically Inaccurate)
Postmillennials believe that the Church has replaced Israel and God has no purpose left for the Jews. Accordingly,
many of the proponents are aggressively anti-Semitic, even to the point of arguing that the Jewish people are the
Antichrist.

Rapture Hermeneutics
They say that the Church is destined to take over the world by itself and reign over all the nations for at least one
thousand years. Additionally Jesus cannot return for the Church until they've completed their reign and are ready
to present the kingdom to Him. They also claim that the second coming of Christ occurred in the first century.
In the postmillennialist view the millennium is seen as an indefinitely long time thus precluding literal
interpretation of a thousand-year period. According to Loraine Boettner "the world will be Christianised, and the
return of Christ will occur at the close of a long period of righteousness and peace, commonly called the
millennium."
Postmillennialists commonly view the rapture of the Church as one and the same event as the second coming of
Christ. According to them, the great tribulation was already fulfilled in the Jewish-Roman War of 66-73 AD that
involved the destruction of Jerusalem.
Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The world is obviously getting worse and not better, therefore Jesus will never be able to come according
to this view. They will never be able to "Christianise" the world to prepare it for His return due to the fact
that the vast majority of people will reject the Bible. (Matthew 7:14)
2. Acts 3:21 "whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken
by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." Does NOT mean that Jesus will wait in
heaven until the earth is perfect; but that He will only come back when it's time to set things straight.
3. Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the
nations, and then the end will come." Does NOT mean that the world will have to be Christianised
before His return, but says the gospel must be preached to the world.
4. God has and never will abandon Israel as per Romans 9-11 and the tribulation is "The time of Israel's
Trouble", to bring them back to Jesus.
5. The tribulation can't have occurred in the past because the church is still on earth, the third temple hasn't
been built, we would have heard of huge plagues wiping out most of the earth, we would know who the
antichrist was and Jesus would be back by now.
6. If the rapture and the second coming are at the same time, how is there time for the "Marriage Supper of
the Lamb"?
7. The reason for the church is to preach the gospel to any and all who will hear it and NOT to try and
convert the world in preparation for Jesus.
8. Imminency - Jesus' return will not be imminent if the church will have to reign 1,000 years first.
9. "If we're in the millennium, Satan’s chain is too long"
10. Unfulfilled prophecies such as the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17), and the attempted invasion of
Israel (Ezekiel 38).
11. John 14:3: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;" We
go to Him.
...and many more reasons too numerous to list.
Amillennialism (Preterism)
(Very Biblically Inaccurate)
Amillennialism is the spiritualizing or an allegorical interpretation of the end times Bible passages. Amillennialists
view the millennial rule of Christ as the current, but indefinite period that began with the foundation of the
church and will end with the Second Coming—a period where Christ already reigns with His saints through the
Eucharist and his church. They believe that Jesus will reign in our hearts rather than physically reigning from
Jerusalem.
The Rapture Survival Guide

Rapture Timing
They believe that most Bible prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70 at the destruction of the Temple and they view the
life of the church as Christ's kingdom already established, but not to be made complete until His second coming.
Bishop Earl Paulk taught that we are “little gods” and that Jesus Christ cannot return until we rise to the full
stature of our godhood, take over this world, and establish His kingdom for Him - this is dominionism.
Amillennialists generally do not use "rapture" as a theological term, but they do view a similar event coinciding
with the second coming—primarily as a mystical gathering with Christ. This view dances with blasphemy and has
been far removed from the truths of the Bible.
To amillennialists the final days already began on the day of the Pentecost, but that the great tribulation will occur
during the final phase or conclusion of the millennium, with Christ then returning as the alpha and omega at the
end of time.
Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. We can't be living in the time of Jesus' reign because of so much evil in the world, and it's continually
getting worse.
2. The term rapture is used throughout the Bible and can't simply be ignored by this theory.
3. Jesus said his feet will touch the Mount of Olives on His second coming thus being a physical return.
4. When did Jesus begin to reign over the world from Jerusalem?
5. Satan is bound throughout the millennium, but he is obviously is out today deceiving people.
6. The millennium couldn't have taken place in A.D. 70 because of all the unfulfilled prophecies in the
Bible.
7. When was Jerusalem surrounded by the armies of all nations?
8. Was Israel established in AD 70 in her land, never to be removed again? No, they were since spread
across the globe.
9. Put a hungry wolf next to a lamb and see what happens. If we're in the millennium then it won't eat the
lamb. (Isaiah 65:25 & 11:6-8)
...and many more reasons too numerous to list.
Rapture Timing
This section deals with the question of 'when' in relation to the rapture.
Date Setters
These are individuals or religious groups that have attempted to predict the day of the rapture, a practise referred
to as "date setting". Every time they have been thoroughly embarrassed and discredited, as the predicted date of
fulfilment has invariably come and gone without event.
Often these individuals and groups have offered "corrected" target dates claiming to be a fresh, new
reinterpretation of scripture to fit their current predicament. Some also explain that although the prediction
appeared not to have come true, in reality it had been completely accurate and fulfilled, albeit in a different way
than many had expected.
"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."
Mark 13:32

Rapture Timing
Christians should never try and set a date or time for the Rapture. Despite many attempts throughout the years to
ascertain the date, the truth is we cannot calculate the day Jesus will return because God specifically chose not to
reveal this to us. Only God the father (and now Jesus - after the events of Revelation) knows the day, the time and
the hour, and He knows exactly when that last gentile will be saved. When Jesus was asked about the apocalyptic
time by the apostles, He replied:
Acts 1:7
“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.”
Below are some of the predictions of the rapture:

x - There were many failed predictions before the 1800's.
"1843, 1844" - William Miller predicted that Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21,
1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated the Bible, to October 22, 1844. The
realization that the predictions were incorrect resulted in the Great Disappointment.
"1914, 1918, 1925" - Various dates predicted for the Second Coming of Jesus by the Jehovah's Witnesses.
1978-1981 - Chuck Smith predicted that Jesus would probably return by 1981.
1988 - Edgar C. Whisenant published a book called "88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988".
1994 - Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 6, 1994.
2011 - Harold Camping's revised prediction put May 21, 2011 as the date of the rapture. After this date
passed without apparent incident, Camping made a radio broadcast stating that a non-visible "spiritual
judgement" had indeed taken place, and that the physical rapture would occur on October 21, 2011. On
that date, according to Camping, the "whole world will be destroyed."
2012 - Some Christians believed that the end of the Mayan calendar would coincide with the rapture and
the end of the world.
2017 - Christian numerologist David Meade motivated this date with astrological theories.
So in summary, we are to not try and predict the timing of the rapture as God has not revealed this to us and His
timing is perfect. Although we can see the times and the seasons falling into place such as the progression towards
a 'mark of the beast' and the push for a one world government. Future prophecies cast a shadow into the past
which we can see beginning to unfold.
The Rapture Season
Having said we can't know the exact date of the rapture above, I will now say that we have been given signs to
watch out for and hints depicting the 'season' in which the rapture will occur. Each example below contains a
verse, an explanation and its application today.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to
you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the
night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as
labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in
darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief."

Rapture Timing
This is the primary verse for the reasoning that we can know the season of the rapture. 'The day of the Lord'
refers to the rapture since it will be like a thief in the night. The second coming on the other hand won't be a
surprise to anyone and will be preceded by multiple events - namely the Seals, Trumpets and Bowls in Revelation.
Paul goes on to say that this day should not overtake you (the believer) as a thief because we will see the signs of
the times and know the season of His return. COVID-19, the Ukraine war and the increasing 'birth-pangs' around
the globe are substantial signs that the rapture is imminent.
Luke 21:29-31
"Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are
already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also,
when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near."

"Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are

when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near."
'The fig tree is Israel, so when you see Israel budding and blooming, we know that the kingdom of God is near.
Today, Israel is secure and flourishing in the land but is still under the constant threat of attack from its neighbors
- at least up until the destruction of Damascus... For this reason many scholars believe that Damascus will be
destroyed before the rapture occurs. With Iran refining plutonium for a nuclear weapon, it surely can't be far off
before we see it destroyed.
Luke 17:26-27
"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: And as it
was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank,
they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and
the flood came and destroyed them all."
This verse explains that the rapture will occur when the people of the world are going about their daily activities,
marrying and following the desires of their heart. To them it's just business as usual until the unthinkable happens.
In this verse, the 'flood' is the tribulation period which will bring the world to its knees. Noah represents the
unsaved Jews who will be left behind after the rapture and Enoch who was 'taken' prior to the flood represents
those who will also be raptured prior to the tribulation.

Biblical Raptures
"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."
Another verse referring to Noah and how the last days will be just like those in Noah's time right before the
rapture. Those days were filled with self-obsessed, ungodly, blasphemous and unholy people. They followed the
desires of their hearts and were unrepentant of their sins committed against God. Their genetic pools were also
contaminated with the 'Sons of God' which means many of them were either fully or part Nephilim. This is why
God chose to preserve Noah and his family through the flood because he was God fearing and his family line
wasn't contaminated.
Luke 21:34-35
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on
all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
This verse is similar to Luke 17:26-27 above saying that you should not be taken up with the cares of this world or
the rapture will come upon you unexpectantly. Tucked into this verse is a hint eluding to us being able to know
the 'timeframe' of the rapture, by saying that this day will come on those unexpectedly who aren't expecting it. For
context, "Those who dwell on the earth" refers to everyone who is living their best life now. Christians are
pilgrims in this world and therefore are heaven bound rather than earth dwellers.
Additionally, as stated in the 'rapture prerequisites' section the rapture could not have happened prior to certain
events unfolding such as the destruction of the temple prophecised by Jesus, which was fulfilled in 70 A.D. and
Israel becoming a nation which was fulfilled on 14th of May 1948.
Biblical Raptures
Below are 7 'typologies' of raptures in the Bible. Most of these are used as examples of how the final rapture will
occur in the end times. For example Enoch was raptured prior to the flood as an example of the church being
raptured before the tribulation.
A 'type' or 'typology' in Christian theology and Biblical exegesis is a doctrine or theory concerning the relationship
of the Old Testament to the New Testament. An example is when Moses set up the brass serpent on a stake. He
didn't know it at the time but this represents the cross in the New Testament.

found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he

Next Steps
This is the end of the Rapture Survival Guide (TRSG); if you still have questions you should read the Bible for
yourself and ask God for guidance. Additionally you can look at the Christian content below and find some videos
on the topics you're interested in. Alternatively you could go to the 'Christianity' section and continue reading. I
urge you to scroll back up to the 'Accepting Jesus' section and read it through if you haven't already accepted Jesus
into your life.
Christian Content
Many will realize that the Christians they ignored their whole life were right and will attempt to seek the truth of
what happened in scripture and prophecy updates. Unfortunately this will be extremely difficult with possible
electricity and internet outages, lies being proliferated by news outlets and the remaining ungodly 'spiritual leaders'
denying that it was the rapture. Christian content may be pulled from the entire internet by those in power further
increasing the difficulty of finding truth. So for an online list of my content backups (the same links as below),
head to: https://www.fluidicice.com/backups
If you're looking for reliable Christian content on Bible teachings take a look at the links and QR codes below
which link to my website backups.
I recommend downloading the free content as quickly as possible after the rapture because:



The servers of Christian believers won't be renewed and will eventually go down
Raptured believers won't be to post physical content anymore
The antichrist and tech companies may try and remove as much Christian material as possible
If all else fails, read the Bible and the Christianity section in this document. If you need a digital Bible, I have an
English King James Version (KJV) one uploaded at:
www.fluidicice.com/downloads/bible/English_Bible.pdf
I also have Bibles in most other languages on my website at www.christianity.fluidicice.com/bibles. If that's not
enough I have off-site backups of most of my content, check them out below, or use the QR codes. (You may
need to cover the adjacent codes to prevent them being read while you scan one)

C.S. Lewis
Even though it's been many decades since his death, his memory and his ministry lives on through his incredible
works of Christianity such as Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia. These are
absolutely well worth the read if you're trying to learn about God or want a bit of entertainment while learning
biblical principles in the case of Narnia. I highly recommend the 'CS Lewis Doodle' videos above if you learn
more visually.

Why Should I Trust the Bible? (Impact Video Ministries)
A well-made video debating the reliability of the Bible, a good one to watch for those questioning Christianity.
T15 minutes long.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtNcbu5oHQU (15 Minutes Long)
The content on most of the websites above can be directly downloaded; however the content on YouTube
requires software to download such as a 'YouTube to MP3 Converter' or a 'YouTube Video Downloader'.
I've also created a 2,000+ page preparedness document if you're living in the end times and are trying to survive.
Of course you should trust God first and foremost to provide what you need, but we need to apply some effort
on our end as well. You can download it here: The Preparedness Encyclopedia (TPE): www.fluidicice.com/TPE
If you're after entertainment and want a Christian novel based on the events after the rapture, look up the "Left
Behind" series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It's a series of 16 novels set after the rapture takes
place and ends with the second coming of Jesus. It follows the lives of Rayford Steele and his daughter Chloe and
their struggle through the tribulation, while closely following a likely narrative of what could happen in the end
times as depicted by the Bible.
